लेलिह्यसे ग्रसमानः समन्ताल्लोकान्समग्रान्वदनैर्ज्वलद्भिः। तेजोभिरापूर्य जगत्समग्रं भासस्तवोग्राः प्रतपन्ति विष्णो॥
lelihyase grasamānaḥ samantāl lokān samagrān vadanair jvaladbhiḥ tejobhir āpūrya jagat samagraṁ bhāsas tavogrāḥ pratapanti viṣhṇo
Meaning
You are licking up all the worlds with Your flaming mouths, devouring them on every side. Filling the whole universe with Your radiance, Your fierce rays burn, O Vishnu.
Krishna licks up worlds with flaming mouths, devours from all sides, fills the universe with fierce radiance. This is Time-Death as cosmic function. Vishnu's terrible aspect consumes everything. Nothing escapes.
Strength Reflection
"The universe is consumed by divine Time — everything passes, everything is transformed."
Devotional Surrender
O Vishnu, Your fierce rays consume all. Let me be transformed, not destroyed.
