"O lord of the universe, O universal form, I see in your body many, many arms, many bellies, mouths and eyes, expanded everywhere, without limit. I see you in no end, no middle or beginning. O lord of lords, O refuge of the worlds, please be gracious to me. I cannot keep my balance seeing thus your blazing deathlike faces and awful teeth. All the sons of Dhartarashtra, along with their allied kings are rushing into your fearful mouths. And some I see trapt with heads smashed between your teeth. I see all the people rushing full speed into your mouths as moths dash to destruction in a blazing fire. You are manifest with terrible, scorching rays. Please tell me who you are, I do not know what your mission is?"
