दंष्ट्राकरालानि च ते मुखानि दृष्ट्वैव कालानलसन्निभानि। दिशो न जाने न लभे च शर्म प्रसीद देवेश जगन्निवास॥
danṣhṭrā-karālāni cha te mukhāni dṛiṣhṭvaiva kālānala-sannibhāni diśho na jāne na labhe cha śharma prasīda deveśha jagan-nivāsa
Meaning
Seeing Your mouths with terrible teeth, blazing like the fires of cosmic dissolution, I lose all sense of direction and find no shelter. Be gracious, O Lord of gods, refuge of the universe!
The teeth are terrible; the mouths blaze like doomsday fires. Arjuna loses all orientation and finds no safety anywhere. He begs for grace. This is the honest prayer when overwhelmed by divine magnitude: 'Be gracious!'
Strength Reflection
"When overwhelmed, I ask for divine grace — this is wisdom, not weakness."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord of the universe, I am disoriented and have no shelter. Be gracious to me!
