Translations
I desire to see You as before, crowned, bearing a mace, with the discus in hand, in Your former form only, having four arms, O thousand-armed, Cosmic Being.
I long to see Thee as Thou wert before, with the crown, the scepter, and the discus in Thy hands; in Thy other form, with Thy four hands, O Thou whose arms are countless and whose forms are infinite.
I want to see You just as before, wearing a crown, wielding a mace, and holding a disc in hand. O You with a thousand arms, O You of Cosmic form, appear with that very form with four hands.
मैं आपको वैसे ही किरीटधारी, गदाधारी और हाथमें चक्र लिये हुए देखना चाहता हूँ। इसलिये हे सहस्रबाहो ! हे विश्वमूर्ते ! आप उसी चतुर्भुजरूपसे हो जाइये।Commentary
Arjuna says O Lord in the Cosmic Form I do not know where to turn and to whom to address myself. I am frightened. I am longing to see Thee with conch, discus, mace and lotus. Withdraw Thy Cosmic Form. Assume that same fourarmed form as before. Spiritual aspirants are ofen impatient to have the highest spiritual experiences immediately they begin their Sadhana. This is wrong. They will not be able to withstand the great power that will, surge into them. Be patient-O thousandarmed refers to the Cosmic Form.
