My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

As I observe You, touching the sky, blazing, with many colors, mouths wide open, eyes blazing and large, I am terrified in my inner soul and I do not find courage and peace, O Visnu!

Shri Purohit Swami

When I see Thee, touching the Heavens, glowing with colour, with open mouth and wide open fiery eyes, I am terrified. O My Lord! My courage and peace of mind desert me.

Swami Adidevananda

When I behold You touching the Supreme Heaven, shining, multicoloured, with yawning mouths and large resplendent eyes, my inner being trembles in fear. I am unable to find support or peace, O Visnu.

Swami Gambirananda

O Visnu, verily, seeing Your form touching heaven, blazing, with many colours, open-mouthed, with fiery large eyes, I , becoming terrified in my mind, do not find steadiness and peace.

Swami Sivananda

On seeing Thee (the Cosmic Form) touching the sky, shining in many colours, with mouths wide open, with large, fiery eyes, I am terrified at heart and find neither courage nor peace, O Vishnu!

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

By merely seeing Your faces, which are frightening with tusks and look like the fire of destruction, I do not know the arters and get no peace. Have mercy, O Lord of gods! O Abode of the Universe!

Shri Purohit Swami

When I see Thy mouths with their fearful jaws like glowing fires at the dissolution of creation, I lose all sense of place; I find no rest. Be merciful, O Lord in whom this universe abides!

Swami Adidevananda

Viewing Your mouths, presenting awe-generating fangs and looking like the consuming fire of final destruction, I know not the quarters of the globe nor do I find repose. Be gracious, O Lord of the Devas! O Abode of the universe!

Swami Gambirananda

Having merely seen Your mouths made terrible with (their) teeth and resembling the fire of Dissolution, I have lost the sense of direction and find no comfort. Be gracious, O Lord of gods, O Abode of the Universe.

Swami Sivananda

Having seen Thy mouths, fearful with teeth, blazing like the fires of cosmic dissolution, I know not the four quarters, nor do I find peace. Have mercy, O Lord of the gods! O abode of the universe!
