Original Sanskrit · अर्जुनः
द्यावापृथिव्योरिदमन्तरं हि
व्याप्तं त्वयैकेन दिशश्च सर्वाः
दृष्ट्वाऽद्भुतं रूपमुग्रं तवेदं
लोकत्रयं प्रव्यथितं महात्मन्
॥ 11.20 ॥
dyāvāpṛthivyoridamantaraṃ hi
vyāptaṃ tvayaikena diśaśca sarvāḥ
dṛṣṭvā'dbhutaṃ rūpamugraṃ tavedaṃ
lokatrayaṃ pravyathitaṃ mahātman
Translation
"All this space between heaven and earth and all the directions are pervaded by you alone. O great one, seeing this wondrous, terrible form of yours, the three worlds are shaken (afraid)."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. ugraṃ krūraṃ; lokatrayaṃ pravyathitaṃ bhītaṃ pracalitaṃ vā; and the context that follows: yad vā jayema yadi vā no jayeyuḥ (gītā 2.6) iti arjunasya yaḥ saṃśayaḥ āsīt, tannirṇayāya pāṇḍavajayam aikāntikaṃ darśayāmi iti pravṛtto bhagavān — to remove Arjuna's doubt from 2.6, the Lord now shows the certain victory of the Pandavas.
Acharya Ramanuja. yuddhadidṛkṣayā āgateṣu brahmādidevāsurapitṛgaṇa… — the gods, asuras, ancestors and others who had come to watch the battle — pratikūlānukūlamadhyasthārūpaṃ lokatrayaṃ — hostile, friendly, neutral, all — are shaken; and: eteṣām api arjunasya iva … divyaṃ cakṣuḥ bhagavatā dattam — they too were given divine sight, like Arjuna.
