Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form

Bhagavad Gita 11.2

bhavāpyayau hi bhūtānāṃ śrutau vistaraśo mayā | tvattaḥ kamalapatrākṣa māhātmyamapi cāvyayam ||

I have heard from you in detail, lotus-eyed Krishna, how beings come into existence and pass away, and I have heard of your imperishable greatness.

Modern context

Arjuna sums up what he has heard: how beings arise and pass away, and the greatness that does not pass. He calls Krishna 'lotus-eyed', a tender and admiring name. There is affection here as well as understanding. Learning that has touched the heart shows in the way a person speaks about their teacher.
