Moksha Sannyasa Yoga
तच्च संस्मृत्य संस्मृत्य रूपमत्यद्भुतं हरेः । विस्मयो मे महान् राजन्हृष्यामि च पुनः पुनः ॥ १८.७७ ॥
tac ca saṁsmṛtya saṁsmṛtya rūpam aty-adbhutaṁ hareḥ | vismayo me mahān rājan hṛṣyāmi ca punaḥ punaḥ || 18.77 ||
And, O King, remembering again and again that most wondrous form of Hari, great is my amazement, and I rejoice again and again.
और हे राजन्! हरि के उस अत्यन्त अद्भुत रूप का बार-बार स्मरण करके मुझे बड़ा विस्मय होता है और मैं बार-बार हर्षित होता हूँ।
And remembering again and again that exceedingly wondrous form of Hari, O king, great is my amazement; and I rejoice again and again.
This recalls the earlier theophany (viśvarūpa) in narrative memory. ‘Rūpa’ can be read literally (vision of form) or as a symbol of the overwhelming scope of ultimate reality.
