The Blessed Lord said: “This form of Mine which you have seen is exceedingly difficult to behold. Even the gods continually long for the vision of this very form.”

Educational Q&A
Divine vision is not an ordinary achievement: the Lord’s revealed form is rare and depends on divine grace, so even exalted beings like the devas yearn for such darśana.
After Arjuna has been granted extraordinary sight and has seen the Lord’s manifested form, Kṛṣṇa underscores how exceptional that experience is, emphasizing its rarity and the reverence it commands even among the gods.
