English Translation
I see You wearing a crown, bearing a mace and discus, a mass of radiance blazing on all sides — difficult to look at, with the brilliance of blazing fire and sun, immeasurable.
Commentary (टीका)
The form carries the traditional Vishnu symbols — crown, mace, and discus — but on an unimaginably vast scale. The radiance is so intense that it is hard to gaze upon.
