Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā

(By Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura; the innermost intention of the commentary named ‘the shower of essential meanings’)

In this way, after showing the extremely wrathful form of His partial expansion, Śrī Bhagavān displayed His four-armed form, a combination of both sweetness and opulence, decorated with helmet, mace, disk and so forth, being so requested by Arjuna. That magnanimous Supreme Personality again manifested His pleasing two-armed form, decorated with bracelets, earrings, turban, yellow pītāmbara and other ornaments, thus giving solace to the frightened Arjuna.

Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Prakāśikā-vṛtti

(By Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja; the explanation that illuminates the commentary named Sārārtha-varṣiṇī)

Sañjaya is describing what happened next. Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa withdrew His thousand-headed form and manifested His four-armed form, dark as the blue lotus. He had manifested this form as Devakī-nandana in the prison house of King Kaṃsa. Finally, He gave solace to the frightened Arjuna by manifesting His supremely pleasing two-armed form.
