Chapter-11
The Universal Form
25. Looking at your mouth with fearful teeth, resembling the fire of dissolution, I know no quarters nor find comfort. Have mercy, O Lord of gods, O Abode of the world. Like the vessels of terror which have burst before our eyes, your gigantic gaping mouths have spread before our view (371-375). And the teeth and the jaws are too dense in the mouth covered by the lips, which form as it were a thick hedge of world-destroying weapons. Your formidable mouths exuding vehemence, are like Takshaka cobra filled with venom, or the new moon night possessed by ghosts or the world-destroying fire flourishing fiery missiles, so the vehemence of your huge mouths is overflowing and making me feel as if deadly torrents of water are flooding us. If the whirlwind and the world-destroying fire at the time of dissolution come together, will anything remain unburnt? Likewise seeing your destructive mouths, I have lost my courage; a grievous delusion has come upon me and I have lost my bearings regarding the quarters and my whereabouts (376-380). No sooner did I get a cursory glimpse of your form, the fount of my happiness has dried up. |
