I am delighted by seeing something I have not seen before, and my mind is stricken with fear. O Lord, show me that very form; O Supreme God, O Abode of the Universe, be gracious!
मैंने ऐसा रुप पहले कभी नहीं देखा। इस रूपको देखकर मैं हर्षित हो रहा हूँ और (साथ-ही-साथ) भयसे मेरा मन अत्यन्त व्यथित हो रहा है। अतः आप मुझे अपने उसी देवरूपको (सौम्य विष्णुरूपको) दिखाइये। हे देवेश ! हे जगन्निवास ! आप प्रसन्न होइये।Commentary
For an ordinary man the Cosmic Form (Vision) is overwhelming and terrifying but for a Yogi it is encouraging, strengthening and soulelevating. Arjuna says The Cosmic Form was never before seen by me. Show me only that form which Thou wearest as my friend.
