Chapter-11
The Universal Form
31. Reveal to me who You are in this dreaded form. My obeisance to You, have mercy, O great Lord, I seek to know You, the Primeval One, for I fail to comprehend Your intent.You are known only to the Vedas, the adorable One of the universe and the origin of the three worlds. O God, hear this request of mine. Saying this Arjuna prostrated his head at the feet of Lord Krishna and said: O God of gods, please pay your attention (441-445). I prayed to you, to reveal your universal form to derive peace of mind, but you have all of a sudden become ready to make a mouthful of the universe. Tell me who you are and why you have gathered these dreadful mouths and held so many weapons in your hands. What is your intention in getting angry with us, in growing taller than the sky and staring at us angrily? Why are you, O God, vying with the Destroyer in annihilating the world? What is your purpose in doing so, tell me. Hearing this speech of Arjuna, Lord Krishna said, “You ask me who I am and why I have grown this ferocious form, hear then (446-450).”
