Translations
Tell me, who you are, so fierce of form. I offer my salutations to you, O God Supreme; have mercy on me. I desire to know you, the original Being. I do not indeed know your workings.
Tell me then, who are You, who wears this dreadful form? I bow before You, O Mighty One! Have mercy, I pray, and let me see You as You were at first. I do not know what Your intentions are.
Tell me who You are, fierce in form. Salutations to You, O Supreme God; be gracious. I desire to fully know You, who are the Prime One. For I do not understand Your actions!
मुझे यह बताइये कि उग्ररूपवाले आप कौन हैं? हे देवताओंमें श्रेष्ठ ! आपको नमस्कार हो। आप प्रसन्न होइये। आदिरूप आपको मैं तत्त्वसे जानना चाहता हूँ; क्योंकि मैं आपकी प्रवृत्तिको नहीं जानता।
