Translation
"O mighty-armed one, seeing this immense form of yours — with many mouths and eyes, many arms, thighs and feet, many bellies, terrible with many tusks — the worlds are shaken, and so am I."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. rūpaṃ mahat atipramāṇaṃ; bahvībhiḥ daṃṣṭrābhiḥ karālaṃ vikṛtaṃ; lokāḥ laukikāḥ prāṇinaḥ pravyathitāḥ pracalitāḥ bhayena tathā aham api.
Acharya Ramanuja. bahvībhiḥ daṃṣṭrābhiḥ atibhīṣaṇākāraṃ; lokāḥ pūrvoktāḥ pratikūlānukūlamadhyasthāḥ trividhāḥ sarva eva ahaṃ ca … atīva vyathitā bhavāmaḥ — hostile, friendly, neutral — all three kinds, and I too, are deeply shaken.
