अनादिमध्यान्तमनन्तवीर्य मनन्तबाहुं शशिसूर्यनेत्रम् । पश्यामि त्वां दीप्तहुताशवक्त्रं स्वतेजसा विश्वमिदं तपन्तम् ॥ १९ ॥
anādi-madhyāntam ananta-vīryam ananta-bāhuṁ śhaśhi-sūrya-netram paśhyāmi tvāṁ dīpta-hutāśha-vaktraṁ sva-tejasā viśhvam idaṁ tapantam
Translation
I see You without beginning, middle or end, of infinite power, with countless arms, the sun and moon for Your eyes, blazing fire for Your mouth, scorching this whole universe with Your radiance.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
मैं आपको आदि, मध्य और अंत से रहित, अनंत सामर्थ्य वाले, अनंत भुजाओं वाले, चंद्र-सूर्य रूपी नेत्रों वाले, प्रज्वलित अग्नि रूपी मुख वाले और अपने तेज से इस संसार को तपाते हुए देखता हूँ।
Commentary
The vision begins to change. The same light that was beautiful in verse 12 now "scorches" (tapantam) the world. The sun and moon as God's eyes is an old Vedic image, found in the Purusha Sukta. From here the mood slides from wonder towards fear.
