Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 11, Verse 23

Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga

रूपं महत्ते बहुवक्त्रनेत्रं महाबाहो बहुबाहूरुपादम् । बहूदरं बहुदंष्ट्राकरालं दृष्ट्वा लोकाः प्रव्यथितास्तथाहम् ॥ २३ ॥

rūpaṁ mahat te bahu-vaktra-netraṁ mahā-bāho bahu-bāhūru-pādam bahūdaraṁ bahu-danṣhṭrā-karālaṁ dṛiṣhṭvā lokāḥ pravyathitās tathāham

Translation

Seeing Your immense form, with many mouths and eyes, O mighty-armed one, many arms, thighs and feet, many bellies, and fearsome with many tusks, the worlds are terrified, and so am I.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

हे महाबाहो! आपके अनेक मुखों, नेत्रों, भुजाओं, जंघाओं, चरणों और उदरों वाले तथा अनेक विकराल दाढ़ों वाले इस विशाल रूप को देखकर सब लोक व्याकुल हैं, और मैं भी।

Commentary

"And so am I" (tathaham): this is where Arjun admits his own fear. The tusks (damshtra) are new. The form that held the gods now looks like something that devours.
