Relief floods through Arjuna's words like cool water after a fever. Seeing this gentle human form of Yours, O Janardana, I am settled now. My mind is steady. I have returned to my natural state.
The phrase 'prakritim gatah' (returned to my nature) is quietly significant. Arjuna does not say he has forgotten what he saw. He says his mind has come back to where it can function. The cosmic vision did not erase him — it overwhelmed him temporarily. Now, with the familiar Krishna before him, his faculties are working again.
Anyone who has been through an intense experience — a close call, a sudden shock, a moment of complete sensory overload — knows this feeling of settling back. The world becomes ordinary again. The hands stop shaking. The breath evens out. That is exactly what Arjuna describes here, with quiet gratitude.
