Verse 11·25

Arjuna seeks understanding of the terrible form

Verse

दंष्ट्राकरालानि च ते मुखानि दृष्ट्वैव कालानलसन्निभानि ।दिशो न जाने न लभे च शर्म प्रसीद देवेश जगन्निवास ॥

daṃṣṭrākarālāni ca te mukhāni dṛṣṭvaiva kālānalasannibhānidiśo na jāne na labhe ca śarma prasīda deveśa jagannivāsa

As I look upon Thy mouths terrible with many tusks of destruction, Thy faces like the fires of Death and time, I lose sense of the directions and find no peace. Turn Thy heart to grace, O God of gods! Refuge of all the worlds!
