Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
आकाश को छूते हुए, देदीप्यमान, खुले हुए मुख वाले, चमकते हुए विशाल नेत्रों वाले आपको देखकर मेरा अन्तरात्मा भयभीत हो गया है। हे विष्णो! मैं न धैर्य पा रहा, न शान्ति।
English Translation
Seeing You touching the sky, blazing with many colors, mouths wide open, with blazing huge eyes — my inner soul trembles. I find neither courage nor peace, O Vishnu.
Commentary (टीका)
The open mouths, blazing eyes, and sky-touching form have shaken Arjuna to his core. Even calling out 'O Vishnu' is a plea for comfort.
