रूपं महत्ते बहुवक्त्रनेत्रं महाबाहो बहुबाहूरुपादम्। बहूदरं बहुदंष्ट्राकरालं दृष्ट्वा लोकाः प्रव्यथितास्तथाहम्॥
rūpaṁ mahat te bahu-vaktra-netraṁ mahā-bāho bahu-bāhūru-pādam bahūdaraṁ bahu-danṣhṭrā-karālaṁ dṛiṣhṭvā lokāḥ pravyathitās tathāham
Meaning
Seeing Your great form with many mouths and eyes, O mighty-armed, with many arms, thighs, and feet, with many bellies, and many terrible teeth — the worlds tremble, and so do I.
Arjuna describes again: many mouths, eyes, arms, legs, bellies, and terrible teeth. This form terrifies. The worlds shake, and Arjuna admits he too trembles. The vision of totality includes its terrifying aspects.
Strength Reflection
"Full vision of reality includes what is terrifying — and I face it."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, Your terrible form makes the worlds and me tremble. I face my fear.
