"There (in that form) arjuna beheld the whole Universe, with its manifold
divisions gathered together in one single spot within the body of (Lord
kRshNa) the God of gods".
SrI v.v. rAmAnujan gives reference to tiruma'ngai AzhvAr's peria
tirumozhi,where AzhvAr describes perumAL's mahA mUrti form - aLattarkku
ariyAi - beyond measure. If this whole Universe is but a tiny part of His body,
one can only try to imagine His true mahA mUrti form.
b) SrI kRshNa datta bhArdvAj interprets the word mahA as "pUjanIya",or
worthy worship, instead of "big" in size. His interpretationis - mahatI
pUjanIyA mUrtih AkRtih yasya iti mahA-mUrtih.
The dharma cakram writer comments that the mahA mUrti form of bhagavAn
illustrates a few points: It illustrates unity in diversity. Even though each
embodied soul has its body, all are ultimately dependent on Him, and are part
of His body. BhagavAn's body includes sRshTi (creation), sthiti (existence),
as well as samhAram (destruction). In order for one life to live, another life is
destroyed. In order to realize Him, sAdhanA is required, and for this a body is
required. All these functions are happening in Him because these are essential
for the jIva-s to ultimately evolve towards Him and realize Him. The
embodied souls do not realize Him because of the screen they have created
between Him and them through their karma-s. When they refine their minds
through several births and divert their minds towards Him, He will bless them
with His anugraham, and they will see His mahA mUrti form and beyond.
