Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
मा ते व्यथा मा च विमूढभावो
दृष्ट्वा रूपं घोरमीदृङ्ममेदम्
व्यपेतभीः प्रीतमनाः पुनस्त्वं
तदेव मे रूपमिदं प्रपश्य
॥ 11.49 ॥
mā te vyathā mā ca vimūḍhabhāvo
dṛṣṭvā rūpaṃ ghoramīdṛṅmamedam
vyapetabhīḥ prītamanāḥ punastvaṃ
tadeva me rūpamidaṃ prapaśya
Translation
"Seeing such a terrible form of mine, do not be distressed, nor bewildered (panicked). Letting go of fear, with a glad heart, see again that form of mine — here it is."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. mā te vyathā mā bhūt te bhayam; vimūḍhabhāvaḥ vimūḍhacittatā; tad eva caturbhujaṃ rūpaṃ śaṅkhacakragadādharaṃ tava iṣṭaṃ rūpam — that same four-armed form bearing conch, discus and mace, your beloved form.
Acharya Ramanuja. tad ubhayaṃ mā bhūt — let there be neither (distress nor bewilderment); tvayā abhyastapūrvam eva saumyarūpaṃ darśayāmi — I show you the gentle form you are already used to.
