Previous verse · Next verse

दंष्ट्राकरालानि च ते मुखानि दृष्ट्वैव कालानलसन्निभानि। दिशो न जाने न लभे च शर्म प्रसीद देवेश जगन्निवास॥

Seeing Your mouths fearful with tusks, blazing like the fire of cosmic dissolution, I lose all sense of direction and find no peace. Have mercy, O Lord of gods, O Abode of the Universe!

Arjuna sees time (Kala) devouring creation like cosmic fire, begging the Lord for mercy and comfort.
