Chapter-11
The Universal Form
18. You are the Imperishable, the Supreme Truth to be known, and the ultimate repose of this universe. You are the undecaying guardian of the eternal Law. You are the Primeval Person, so I believe. O Lord, you are the Imperishable Supreme Brahman, and are beyond the three and half syllables of Om and the Vedas are in eternal quest of your abode. You are the origin of all appearance and also their only place of repose. You are that eternal, fathomless and indestructible Being. You are the fountain of religion, self- existent and eternally new. You are the Lord of this universe, the Supreme Person, the thirty-seventh beyond the thirty-six principles. 19. (I see you) as Almighty, without beginning, middle or end, with innumerable arms, with the sun and the moon as your eyes; I see your mouths as blazing fires, scorching this world with your incandescence. You have no beginning, middle or end and your might is unlimited. You have hands and feet everywhere (306-310). The sun and the moon are your eyes and through them you engage in your sportive play of mercy and wrath. You chastise one with your wrathful gaze, while you protect another with your gracious glance. O Lord, I see your universal form in various ways. Your face is like the fire which blazes at the time of dissolution. As the wild flames of forest-fire on the mountains envelop all things which come in their way, your tongue rolls between the rows of teeth, licking the jaws. The whole universe is singed in the radiant heat of your mouth and tormented by the bright luster of your form.
