Original Sanskrit · अर्जुनः

प्रसीद देवेश जगन्निवास
॥ 11.45 ॥
adṛṣṭapūrvaṃ hṛṣito'smi dṛṣṭvā
bhayena ca pravyathitaṃ mano me
tadeva me darśaya deva rūpaṃ
prasīda deveśa jagannivāsa
Translation
"Having seen (this form) never seen before, I am thrilled, and yet my mind is shaken with fear. O God, show me that (former) form. O Lord of gods, O abode of the universe — be gracious."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. adṛṣṭapūrvaṃ na kadācid api dṛṣṭapūrvam idaṃ viśvarūpaṃ tava mayā anyair vā; tad eva me mama darśaya he deva rūpaṃ yat matsakham — the very form that is my friend.
Acharya Ramanuja. adṛṣṭapūrvam atyadbhutam atyugraṃ ca tava rūpaṃ dṛṣṭvā hṛṣitaḥ asmi prītaḥ asmi; tad eva tava suprasannaṃ rūpaṃ me darśaya — that same most gracious form of yours.
