pasyami tvam sarvato ’nanta-rupam। nantam na madhyam na punas tavadim pasyami visvesvara vishva-rupa॥ 11.16 ॥ |
Arjuna said: O Lord of the universe, O universal form, I see in Your body many, many arms, bellies, mouths and eyes, expanded everywhere, without limit. I see in You no end, no middle and no beginning.
kiritinam gadinam chakrinam cha
tejo-rasim sarvato diptimantam। pasyami tvam durniriksyam samantad diptanalarka-dyutim aprameyam॥ 11.17 ॥ |
Arjuna said: Your form is difficult to see because of its glaring effulgence, spreading on all sides, like blazing fire or the immeasurable radiance of the sun. Yet I see this glowing form everywhere, adorned with various crowns, clubs and discs.
tvam aksharam paramam veditavyam
tvam asya vishvasya param nidhanam। tvam avyayah sasvata-dharma-gopta sanatanas tvam purusho mato me॥ 11.18 ॥ |
Arjuna said: You are the supreme primal objective. You are the ultimate resting place of all this universe. You are inexhaustible, and You are the oldest. You are the maintainer of the eternal religion, the Personality of Godhead. This is my opinion.
anadi-madhyantam ananta-viryam
ananta-bahum sasi-surya-netram। pasyami tvam dipta-hutasa-vaktram sva-tejasa vishvam idam tapantam॥ 11.19 ॥ |
Arjuna said: You are without origin, middle or end. Your glory is unlimited. You have numberless arms, and the sun and moon are Your eyes. I see You with blazing fire coming forth from Your mouth, burning this entire universe by Your own radiance.
dyav a-prithivyor idam antaram hi
vyaptam tvayaikena disas cha sarvah। drishtvadbhutam rupam ugram tavedam loka-trayam pravyathitam mahatman॥ 11.20 ॥ |
Arjuna said: Although You are one, You spread throughout the sky and the planets and all space between. O great one, seeing this wondrous and terrible form, all the planetary systems are perturbed.
