लेलिह्यसे ग्रसमानः समन्ता ल्लोकान्समग्रान्वदनैर्ज्वलद्भिः । तेजोभिरापूर्य जगत्समग्रं भासस्तवोग्राः प्रतपन्ति विष्णो ॥ ३० ॥
lelihyase grasamānaḥ samantāl lokān samagrān vadanair jvaladbhiḥ tejobhir āpūrya jagat samagraṁ bhāsas tavogrāḥ pratapanti viṣhṇo
Translation
Devouring all the worlds on every side with Your flaming mouths, You lick Your lips. Your fierce rays fill the whole universe with their brilliance and scorch it, O Vishnu.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे विष्णो! आप अपने प्रज्वलित मुखों से सब ओर से सम्पूर्ण लोकों को निगलते हुए उन्हें चाट रहे हैं। आपकी उग्र किरणें सम्पूर्ण जगत को अपने तेज से भरकर तपा रही हैं।
Commentary
This is the peak of the terrible side of the vision. The verb lelihyase, "You lick," is startlingly physical. Arjun still calls the form Vishnu, the preserver. Creation, preservation and destruction are all shown as the work of the same one God.
