रूपं महत्ते बहुवक्त्रनेत्रं
महाबाहो बहुबाहूरुपादम् ।
बहूदरं बहुदंष्ट्राकरालं
दृष्ट्वा लोकाः प्रव्यथितास्तथाऽहम् ॥
రూపం మహత్తే బహువక్త్రనేత్రం
మహాబాహో బహుబాహూరుపాదమ్ ।
బహూదరం బహుదంష్ట్రాకరాలం
దృష్ట్వా లోకాః ప్రవ్యథితాస్తథాఽహమ్ ॥
rūpaṃ mahatte bahuvaktranetraṃ
mahābāho bahubāhūrupādam |
bahūdaraṃ bahudaṃṣṭrākarālaṃ
dṛṣṭvā lokāḥ pravyathitāstathā’ham ||
About chapter 11
Arjuna asks to see Krishna’s cosmic form. Granted divine sight, he sees the whole universe in Krishna’s body — countless faces, arms and eyes, blazing like a thousand suns, with all the warriors rushing into his mouths as time itself. Awestruck and afraid, Arjuna praises him and begs to see the gentle four-armed form again. Only pure devotion makes this vision possible.
