अमी हि त्वां सुरसङ्घा विशन्ति केचिद्भीताः प्राञ्जलयो गृणन्ति ।
स्वस्तीत्युक्त्वा महर्षिसिद्धसङ्घाः स्तुवन्ति त्वां स्तुतिभिः पुष्क marble: [?]भिः
॥ ११-२१॥

amī hi tvāṁ surasaṅghā viśanti
kecidbhītāḥ prāñjalayo gṛṇanti |
svastī tyuktvā maharṣisiddhasaṅghāḥ stuvanti
tvāṁ stutibhiḥ puṣkalābhiḥ

Krishna illustration

Many celestials enter into You; some
praise You in fear with folded hands;
many great masters and sages hail and
adore you

POWERFUL COGNITION

The wave in the ocean is part of the ocean. As long as it feels itself to be part of the ocean, there is no separation.

रुद्रादित्या वसवो ये च साध्या विश्वेऽश्विनौ मरुतश्चोष्मपाश्च ।
गन्धर्वयक्षासुरसिद्धसङ्घा वीक्षन्ते त्वां विस्मिताश्चैव सर्वे
॥ ११=२२॥

rudrādityā vasavo ye ca sādhyā
viśve'śvinau marutaś coṣmapāśca |
gandha-rvayakṣāsura siddhasaṅghā
vīkṣante tvaṁ vismitāś caiva sarve

The Rudra, āditya, Vasu, Sādhyā,
Viśvedeva, aśvin, Marut, Ūṣmapa and
a host of Gandharva, yakṣa, Asura
and Sidhha are all looking at You in
amazement

POWERFUL COGNITION

When the wave experiences its own identity, creates its own identity, it no longer feels itself a part of the ocean. It feels itself to be a separate entity.

Portrait of Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam in oval frame

रूपं महत्ते बहुवक्त्रनेत्रं महाबाहो बहुबाहूरुपादम् ।
बहूदरं बहुदंष्ट्राकरालं दृष्ट्वा लोकाः प्रव्यथितास्तथाहम्
॥११-२३॥

rūpaṁ mahatte bahuvaktranetraṁ
mahābāho bahubāhūrupādam |
bahūdaraṁ bahu-daṁṣṭrā-karālaṁ
dṛṣṭvā lokāḥ pravyathitās tathāham

Having seen Your immeasurable
form with many mouths and eyes,
with many arms, thighs and feet,
with many stomachs and frightening
tusks, O mighty-armed, the worlds
are terrified and so am I

POWERFUL COGNITION

What Arjuna perceives is what is always present, but which he normally has no capability to see. Now he sees Krsna in all His manifestations

Guru icon
Arjuna praying with a feather

नभःस्पृशं दीप्तमनेकवर्णं व्यात्ताननं दीप्तविशालनेत्रम् ।
दृष्ट्वा हि त्वां प्रव्यथितान्तरात्मा धृतिं न विन्दामि शमं च विष्णो
॥ ११=२४॥

nabhaḥspṛśaṁ dīptamanekavarṇaṁ
vyāttānanaṁ dīptaviśāla netram |
dṛṣṭvā hi tvāṁ pravyathitāntarātmā
dhṛtiṁ na vindāmi śamaṁ ca viṣṇo

Seeing You, Your form touching the
sky, flaming in many colors, mouths
wide open, large fiery eyes, O Viṣṇu, I
find neither courage nor peace; I am
frightened

POWERFUL COGNITION

When Arjuna had his first glimpse of the cosmic Vision of Krsna, he identified with the Vision. There was no separation. Now, suddenly there is separation. Along with separation there is fear.
