Verse 11.3

Verse 11.3 “Thus it verily is as Thou hast declared Thine self (to be), O Lord Supreme. I desire to behold Thy Divine Form, O Person Transcendent. (81)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Then Kiriti said, “O God, Thy words have indeed made my eye of inward vision satiated with contentment. My soul is eager to behold thine all-pervasive Supreme Personality, whose divine purpose moves the entire universe by creation and destruction, and of which thou speakest as thine innermost self: that primeval Essence from which proceed all thine incarnations—two-handed or four - handed—for warding off the evils that threaten Gods and to which thou returnest (after thy sport, beginning from thy rest on a watery bed, and moving out in the shape of fish and crocodile is done); that Supreme Presence whose praises are sung by the Upanishads and which the yogins behold in their heart with (their) vision turned inside; and whom devotees like Sanaka and others embrace in a mystic union, I am eager to set my eyes on this Universal Presence of which so much is heard. Since thou hast unreservedly asked me to say my heart’s wish, this then is the one object of my desire. All my hopes are intent on this prospect of a direct vision of thine Omnipresence.
