11.49 Do not be troubled Krishna speaks

मा ते व्यथा मा च विमूढभावो दृष्ट्वा रूपं घोरमीदृङ्ममेदम्
व्यपेतभीः प्रीतमनाः पुनस्त्वं तदेव मे रूपमिदं प्रपश्य

mā te vyathā mā cha vimūḍha-bhāvo
dṛiṣhṭvā rūpaṁ ghoram īdṛiṅ mamedam
vyapeta-bhīḥ prīta-manāḥ punas tvaṁ
tad eva me rūpam idaṁ prapaśhya

Do not be troubled or bewildered at having seen this terrible form of mine. Free of fear and glad at heart, see again that other form.

Explanation

Do not be troubled.

Free of fear and glad at heart, see again that other form.

The tone changes completely and stays changed. Whatever the vision was for, the response to Arjuna's distress is not instruction — it is reassurance.
