Arjuna's inner self trembles — seeing the immense cosmic form with its many mouths, eyes, arms, and feet, he loses courage and finds no peace. Shankaracharya sees this as the natural response of individuality confronted by the infinite. Ramanujacharya reads the terror as the appropriate reaction to unveiled divine glory. Madhva identifies it as the finite soul's honest recognition of its vulnerability. Abhinavagupta interprets the trembling as the ego's dissolution before unbounded awareness. Vallabha reads it as the overwhelming experience of intimacy at cosmic scale. Tilak observes that even Arjuna's legendary battlefield courage fails before the infinite. Vivekananda sees it as the natural human response when comfortable boundaries shatter. Together, these traditions acknowledge that the encounter with the divine in its fullness is terrifying — not because God is hostile, but because the infinite overwhelms every finite category and every comfortable boundary the ego has constructed.
