I long to see you as before, wearing a crown, carrying a mace, a discus in your hand. O thousand-armed one, O Universal Form, take on that same four-armed shape.
Explanation
Arjuna is overwhelmed by the terrifying cosmic form (viśvarūpa) and asks Krishna to return to a familiar one. He names the crown, mace and discus, the signs of the four-armed form that tradition links with Vishnu. He addresses Krishna as 'thousand-armed' and 'universal form' because that is the form he is looking at now. Krishna grants the request in 11.50, which many readers take as showing the four-armed form first and then his gentle human form.
