Chapter XI · Śloka 16
अनेकबाहूदरवक्त्रनेत्रं
पश्यामि त्वां सर्वतोऽनन्तरूपम् ।
नान्तं न मध्यं न पुनस्तवादिं
पश्यामि विश्वेश्वर विश्वरूप ॥
पश्यामि त्वां सर्वतोऽनन्तरूपम् ।
नान्तं न मध्यं न पुनस्तवादिं
पश्यामि विश्वेश्वर विश्वरूप ॥
aneka-bāhūdara-vaktra-netraṁ
paśyāmi tvāṁ sarvato 'nanta-rūpam ।
nāntaṁ na madhyaṁ na punas tavādiṁ
paśyāmi viśveśvara viśva-rūpa ॥
paśyāmi tvāṁ sarvato 'nanta-rūpam ।
nāntaṁ na madhyaṁ na punas tavādiṁ
paśyāmi viśveśvara viśva-rūpa ॥
I behold You everywhere with countless arms, bellies, mouths, and eyes, infinite in form — I see no end, no middle, and no beginning of You, O Lord of the universe, O cosmic form.
The cosmic form transcends all categories of space and limit: it has no beginning that could be called a point of origin, no middle from which to take bearings, and no end. This is the experience of the infinite that shatters ordinary spatial cognition.
