ami hi tvam sura-sangha vishanti
kecid bhitah pranjalayo grnanti। svastity uktva maharsi-siddha-sanghah stuvanti tvam stutibhih puskalabhih॥ 11.21 ॥ |
Arjuna said: All the hosts of demigods are surrendering before You and entering into You. Some of them, very much afraid, are offering prayers with folded hands. Hosts of great sages and perfected beings, crying “All peace!” are praying to You by singing the Vedic hymns.
rudraditya vasavo ye cha sadhya
visve ’svinau marutas cosmapas cha। gandharva-yakshasura-siddha-sangha viksante tvam vismitas chaiva sarve॥ 11.22 ॥ |
Arjuna said: All the various manifestations of Lord Shiva, the Adityas, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the Vishve-devas, the two Asvis, the Maruts, the forefathers, the Gandharvas, the Yakshas, the Asuras and the perfected demigods are beholding You in wonder.
rupam mahat te bahu-vaktra-netram
maha-baho bahu-bahuru-padam। bahudaram bahu-damstra-karalam drishtva lokah pravyathitas tathaham॥ 11.23 ॥ |
Arjuna said: O mighty-armed one, all the planets with their demigods are disturbed at seeing Your great form, with its many faces, eyes, arms, thighs, legs, and bellies and Your many terrible teeth; and as they are disturbed, so am I.
nabhah-sprsam diptam
aneka-varnam
vyattananam dipta-visala-netram। drishtva hi tvam pravyathitantar-atma dhrtim na vindami samam cha visno॥ 11.24 ॥ |
Arjuna said: O all-pervading Vishnu, seeing You with Your many radiant colors touching the sky, Your gaping mouths, and Your great glowing eyes, my mind is perturbed by fear. I can no longer maintain my steadiness or equilibrium of mind.
damstra-karalani cha te mukhani
drishtvaiva kalanala-sannibhani। diso na jane na labhe cha sarma prasida devesa jagan-nivasa॥ 11.25 ॥ |
Arjuna said: O Lord of lords, O refuge of the worlds, please be gracious to me. I cannot keep my balance seeing thus Your blazing deathlike faces and awful teeth. In all directions I am bewildered.
