अर्जुन उवाच । स्थाने हृषीकेश तव प्रकीर्त्या जगत्प्रहृष्यत्यनुरज्यते च । रक्षांसि भीतानि दिशो द्रवन्ति सर्वे नमस्यन्ति च सिद्धसङ्घाः ॥ ३६ ॥
arjuna uvācha sthāne hṛiṣhīkeśha tava prakīrtyā jagat prahṛiṣhyaty anurajyate cha rakṣhānsi bhītāni diśho dravanti sarve namasyanti cha siddha-saṅghāḥ
Translation
Arjun said: It is fitting, O Hrishikesh, that the world rejoices and delights in praising You. Demons flee in fear in every direction, and all the hosts of the perfected bow to You.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
अर्जुन बोले: हे हृषीकेश! यह उचित ही है कि आपकी कीर्ति से जगत हर्षित होता है और अनुराग पाता है। भयभीत राक्षस सब दिशाओं में भाग रहे हैं और सिद्धों के सब समूह आपको नमस्कार कर रहे हैं।
Commentary
Sthane, "it is fitting," marks a change in tone. Arjun's fear turns into reverent understanding. The same form produces different reactions depending on who looks at it: the good rejoice, the demonic flee. This verse is recited on its own as a protective prayer, the Rakshoghna mantra.
