Sri Bhagavan Uvacha—Thus spoke God. This is what the text mentions to refer to the words that Krishna spoke. If it was referring to the words of the person, then it could have been Sri Krishna Uvacha, throughout the Bhagavad Gita. Since the words are the natural outpouring of the truth through the voice of Krishna, it is referred to as the words of God.
“I am time that destroys everything that is born, grows and proliferates. I destroy all the worlds. All those armed warriors, even if you do not fight them, are not going to exist anyway,” says Krishna, urging Arjuna once again to get up and fight. Referring to Arjuna as Savyasachin or an ambidextrous archer, basically highlighting his capabilities and prowess, his Guru, the charioteer urges him to get up and fight. If he won the war, he would enjoy ruling the country. The significant message was that, “All these people have already been killed by me!” He lists the names—Drona, Bheeshma, Jayadratha, Karna and all the warriors.
Sanjaya reports what he sees and hears to Dhritarashtra, the visually impaired father of Duryodhana and says, “Listening to these words of Keshava, Arjuna wearing his crown was quaking with fear, and... he prostrates before Krishna again and again and addresses him in a quivering voice.”
The most beautiful poetic verses of the Bhagavad Gita follow in the words of Arjuna who is slowly beginning to realise the person to whom he has been talking to and playing with all these days. He says the world is very happy by just chanting his name, praising and praying to Krishna. All the evil-doers are afraid and running in different directions. The Siddhas or adepts are worshipping Krishna. “Why wouldn’t they all worship you who are their creator and the creator of the creator, Brahma himself? You are beyond what is the real and the unreal and exist as the Sat—Existence, Chit – Awareness and Ananda—Bliss.”
Arjuna gets into a delirious state as he is exposed to this Vishwa Roopa or the cosmic form of the supreme being of this Universe.
