Moha arising from fear: When Kṛṣṇa showed His universal form, Arjuna, who had the insignia of Hanumān on his flag, seeing that form, dropped his Gāṇḍiva bow. However, being in a state of moha, he was not aware of this.
Purport
Similarly, there is a statement describing confusion caused by fearfulness. These symptoms were exhibited by Arjuna when he saw Kṛṣṇa’s universal form on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra. His confusion was so strong that his bow and arrows fell from his hand and he could not perceive anything clearly.
