Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form
Bhagavad Gita 11.9
एवमुक्त्वा ततो राजन्महायोगेश्वरो हरिः ।
दर्शयामास पार्थाय परमं रूपमैश्वरम् ॥
evamuktvā tato rājanmahāyogeśvaro hariḥ | darśayāmāsa pārthāya paramaṃ rūpamaiśvaram ||

Modern context
The narrator steps in. Sanjaya, telling the story to the blind king Dhritarashtra, describes what happened next. The shift reminds us that what follows is reported, not seen directly by us. Every reader of these verses is like the blind king, hearing about a vision through another's words. The challenge is to let the description open our own inner sight.
