The Cosmic Vision ╯

all worship, the greatest guru. There is none to

equal you in the three worlds. Who can match

your power? 44 O gracious Lord, I prostrate

myself before you and ask for your blessing. As

a father forgives his son, or a friend a friend, or

a lover his beloved, so should you forgive me.

45

I rejoice in seeing you as you have never been

seen before, yet I am filled with fear by this vision

of you as the abode of the universe. Please let me

see you again as the shining God of gods. 46 Though

you are the embodiment of all creation, let me see

you again not with a thousand arms but with four,

carrying the mace and discus and wearing a crown.

Arjuna, through my grace you have been

united with me and received this vision of my

radiant, universal form, without beginning

or end, which no one else has ever seen.

48

Not by knowledge of the Vedas, nor

sacrifice, nor charity, nor rituals, nor even by

severe asceticism has any other mortal seen

what you have seen, O heroic Arjuna.
