pitasi lokasya characharasya
tvam asya pujyas cha gurur gariyan। na tvat-samo ’sty abhyadhikah kuto ’nyo loka-traye ’py apratima-prabhava॥ 11.43 ॥ |
Arjuna said: You are the father of this complete cosmic manifestation, of the moving and the nonmoving. You are its worship-able chief, the supreme spiritual master. No one is equal to You, nor can anyone be one with You. How then could there be anyone greater than You within the three worlds, O Lord of immeasurable power?
tasmat pranamya pranidhaya kayam
prasadaye tvam aham isam idyam। piteva putrasya sakheva sakhyuh priyah priyayarhasi deva sodhum॥ 11.44 ॥ |
Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Lord, to be worshiped by every living being. Thus I fall down to offer You my respectful obeisance's and ask Your mercy. As a father tolerates the impudence of his son, or a friend tolerates the impertinence of a friend, or a wife tolerates the familiarity of her partner, please tolerate the wrongs I may have done You.
adrsta-purvam hrsito ’smi drishtva
bhayena cha pravyathitam mano me। tad eva me darsaya deva rupam prasida devesa jagan-nivasa॥ 11.45 ॥ |
Arjuna said: After seeing this universal form, which I have never seen before, I am feeling good but at the same time my mind is disturbed with fear. Therefore please bestow Your grace upon me and reveal again Your Normal form to me, O Lord of lords, O abode of the universe.
kiritinam gadinam chakra-hastam
icchami tvam drastum aham tathaiva। tenaiva rupena chatur-bhujena sahasra-baho bhava vishva-murte॥ 11.46 ॥ |
Arjuna said: O Thousand-armed Lord, O universal form Lord, I wish to see You in Your four-armed form, with helmeted head and with club, wheel, conch and lotus flower in Your hands. I long to see You in that form.
Sri Bhagavan Uvacha। |
maya prasannena tavarjunedam
rupam param darshitam atma-yogat। tejo-mayam vishvam anantam adyam yan me tvad anyena na drsta-purvam॥ 11.47 ॥ |
Sri Bhagavan said: My dear Arjuna, happily have I shown you, by My internal potency, this supreme universal form within the material world. No one before you has ever seen this primal form, unlimited and full of glaring effulgence.
