Chapter 11 • Verse 27

वक्त्राणि ते त्वरमाणा विशन्ति दंष्ट्राकरालानि भयानकानि। केचिद्विलग्ना दशनान्तरेषु सन्दृश्यन्ते चूर्णितैरुत्तमाङ्गैः॥

vaktrāṇi te tvaramāṇā viśhanti danṣhṭrā-karālāni bhayānakāni kechid vilagnā daśhanāntareṣhu sandṛiśhyante chūrṇitair uttamāṅgaiḥ

Meaning

...rushing into Your fearful mouths with terrible teeth. Some are seen stuck between the teeth, their heads crushed.

A terrifying image: warriors rush into Krishna's fearful mouths. Some are caught between teeth, heads crushed. Time devours all. This is the vision of death as divine function — not comfortable, but true.

Strength Reflection

"Time consumes all. Seeing this truth clearly, I understand mortality."

Devotional Surrender

O Lord of time, I see all beings entering Your mouth. I accept this truth.
