That wondrous form

tacca saṃsmṛtya saṃsmṛtya rūpamatyadbhutaṃ hareḥvismayo me mahān rājanhṛṣyāmi ca punaḥ punaḥ

And as I remember, again and again, that most wondrous form of Krishna, great is my amazement, O King, and I rejoice again and again.

What it means

Sanjaya also remembers the universal form, the vast vision Krishna revealed in chapter eleven. Each time he recalls it, wonder overwhelms him, and joy rises again. Some sights stay with us forever, growing richer each time we remember them.

The story

Sanjaya saw what Arjuna saw, the whole universe within Krishna. He's still trembling with amazement, even as he speaks to the king.

In your life

Remember the first time you saw the ocean, a mountain range or a starry desert sky. Let that memory return tonight, and feel the wonder again.
