The Universal Form (Visvarupa-sandarsana Yoga)

[Guest guest]

THE BLESSED LORD SAID:

 

32. I am the mighty world-destroying Time, now engaged in destroying the worlds.

Even without thee, none of the warriors arrayed in hostile armies shalt live.

 

33. Therefore do thou arise and obtain fame. Conquer the enemies and enjoy the

unrivalled dominion. By Myself have they been already slain; be thou a mere

instrument, O Savyasachin.

 

34. Drona and Bhisma, Jayadratha, Karna and other brave warriors - these, killed

by Me, do thou kill; fear not, fight, thou shalt conquer the enemies.

 

SANJAYA SAID:

 

35. Having heard that speech of Kesava, the crowned one (Arjuna), with joined

palms, trembling, prostrating himself, again addressed Krishna, stammering,

bowing down, overwhelmed with fear.

 

ARJUNA SAID:

 

36. It is meet, O Hrishikesa, that the world is delighted and rejoices by Thy

praise; Rakshasas fly in fear to all quarters and all hosts of Siddhas bow to

Thee.

 

37. And how should they not, O Mighty Being, bow to Thee, Greater (than all

else), the Primal Cause even of Brahma, O Infinite Being, O Lord of Gods, O

Abode of the Universe; Thou art the Imperishable, the Being and the non-Being,

That which is the Supreme.

 

38. Thou art the Primal God, the Ancient Purusha; Thou art the Supreme Abode of

all this, Thou art the Knower and the Knowable and the Supreme Abode. By Thee is

all pervaded, O Being of infinite forms.

 

39. Thou art Vayu, Yama, Agni, Varuna, the Moon, Prajapati and the Great

Grand-Father. Hail! Hail to Thee! a thousand times and again and again hail!

Hail to Thee!

 

40. Hail to thee before and behind! Hail to Thee on every side! O All! Thou,

infinite in power and infinite in daring, pervadest all, wherefore Thou art All.
