Chapter 11 verse 30
“With your fiery tongues you are licking up the hosts of living beings on all sides and devouring them with your blazing mouths. O Vishnu, you are scorching the entire universe with the fierce, all-pervading rays of your effulgence.”
Arjuna is getting a vision of future happenings where both his enemies and even several of his allies are going to be dying and entering the next phase of their journey with paramatma. Arjuna is seeing the destructive part of the Supreme Being who also plays the role of creator and preserver. Why is the Lord providing this vision to Arjuna? It could be to shake him out of inaction and instill either the thought that he is not the doer or if he doesn’t execute his duty of winning the war and restoring dharma back in bharata varsha, he is not going to reap the merits of his current life. Bhagwan being ever kind and compassionate does not practice punitive action but reminding him to do his duty of fighting a righteous battle since all beings born on earth have to die anyways. It is his duty to restore dharma for that particular time.
