किरीटिनं गदिनं चक्रहस्त मिच्छामि त्वां द्रष्टुमहं तथैव । तेनैव रूपेण चतुर्भुजेन सहस्रबाहो भव विश्वमूर्ते ॥ ४६ ॥
kirīṭinaṁ gadinaṁ chakra-hastam ichchhāmi tvāṁ draṣhṭum ahaṁ tathaiva tenaiva rūpeṇa chatur-bhujena sahasra-bāho bhava viśhva-mūrte
Translation
I wish to see You just as before, crowned, holding the mace, discus in hand. Take on that four-armed form, O thousand-armed one, O universal form.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
मैं आपको पहले की तरह ही मुकुट धारण किए, गदा और हाथ में चक्र लिए हुए देखना चाहता हूँ। हे सहस्रबाहो! हे विश्वमूर्ते! आप उसी चतुर्भुज रूप में प्रकट होइए।
Commentary
Arjun asks specifically for the four-armed form of Vishnu, the form described in verse 17. He is asking to move from the overwhelming to the approachable. The contrast of "thousand-armed" with "four-armed" sums up the whole request.
