Sthaaney hrishikesh tav prakeertyaa |
Jagat prahashya tyanu rajyate cha |
Rakshaansi bheetaani disho dravanti |
Sarvey namasyanti cha siddha sanghah |
11.36 Arjuna said -- It is proper, O Hrsikesa, that the world becomes delighted and attracted by Your praise; that the Raksasas, stricken with fear, run in all directions; and that all the groups of the Siddhas bow down (toYou).
|
Kasmaachch tey na nameyran mahaatman |
Gareeyasey brahmano pyaa di kartrey |
Anant devesh jagannivaas |
Tvamaksharam sad sat tatparam yat |
11.37 And why should they not bow down to You, O exalted [i.e. not narrow-minded.] One, who are greater (than all) and who are the first Creator even of Brahma! O infinite One, supreme God, Abode of the Universe, You are the Immutable, being and non-being, (and) that which is Transcendental.
|
Tvamaadi devah purushah puraana |
Stvamasya vishvasya param nidhaanam |
Veyttaasi vedyam cha param cha dhaam |
Tvayaa tatam vishva mananta roopa |
11.38 You are the primal Deity, the ancient Person; You are the supreme Resort of this world. You are the knower as also the object of knowledge, and the supreme Abode. O You of infinite forms, the Universe is pervaded by You!
|
Vayur yamognir varunah shashaankah |
Prajaa patistvam prapitaa mahash cha |
Namo namasteystu sahasra kritvah |
Punashch bhooyopi namo namastey |
11.39 You are Air, Death, Fire, the god of the waters, the moon, the Lord of the creatures, and the Greater-grandfather. Salutations! Salutation be to You a thousand times; salutation to You again and again! Salutation!
|
Namah purastaadath prashtth tastey |
Namostu te sarvat eva sarva |
Ananta veeryaa mit vikramastvam |
Sarvam samaapnoshi tatosi sarvah |
11.40 Salutation to You in the East and behind. Salutation be to You on all sides in deed, O All! You are possessed of infinite strength and infinite heroism. You pervade everything; hence You are all!
|
Sakheti matvaa prasabham yaduktam |
Hey Krishna hey yaadav hey sakheti |
Ajaanataa mahi maanam tavedam |
Mayaa pramaadaat pranayen vaapi |
11.41 Without knowing this greatness of Yours, whatever was said by me (to You) rashly, through inadvertence or even out of intimacy, thinking (You to be) a friend, addressing (You) as 'O krsna,' 'O Yadava,' 'O friend,' etc.-.
|
Yachchaa vahaa saarth masat kritosi |
Vihaar shayyaa san bhojaneshu |
Ekoth vaapya chyut tat samaksham |
Tat kshaamaye tvaamaham prameyam |
11.42 And that You have been discourteously treated out of fun-while walking, while on a bed, while on a seat, while eating, in privacy, or, O Acyuta, even in public, for that I beg pardon of You, the incomprehensible One.
|
Pitaasi lokasya charaa charasya |
Tvamasya poojyashch gurur gareeyaan |
Na tvat samostya bhyadhikah kutonyo |
Lokatraye pya pratim prabhaav |
11.43 You are the Father of all beings moving and non-moving; to this (world) You are worthy of worship, the Teacher, and greater (than a teacher). There is none equal to You; how at all can there be anyone greater even in all the three worlds, O You or unrivalled power?
|
Tasmaat pranamya pranidhaay kaayam |
Prasaadaye tvaam hamee shameedyam |
Piteyva putrasya sakheyva sakhyuh |
Priyah priyaayaar hasi dev soddhum |
11.44 Therefore, by bowing down and prostrating the body, I seek to propitate You who are God and are adorable. O Lord, You should [The elision of a (in arhasi of priyayarhasi) is a metrical licence.] forgive (my faults) as would a father (the faults) of a son, as a friend, of a friend, and as a lover of a beloved.
|
Adrishta poorvam hrishitosmi drishtvaa |
Bhayen cha pravyathitam mano mey |
Tadeva mey darshay dev roopam |
Praseed devesh jagannivaas |
11.45 I am delighted by seeing something not seen heretofore, and my mind is stricken with fear. O Lord, show me that very form; O supreme God, O Abode of the Universe, be gracious!
|
Kiritinam gadinam chakra hasta |
Michchaami tvaam drashtu maham tathaiva |
Teynaiva roopena chatur bhujena |
Sahasra baaho bhava vishva moortey |
11.46 I want to see You just as before, wearing a crown, wielding a mace, and holding a disc in hand. O You with thousand arms, O You of Cosmic form, appear with that very form with four hands.
