VISWARUPADARSANAM

 
The Kings and Chiefs drawn in,
That gaping gorge within;
The best of both these armies torn and riven! Between Thy jaws they lie Mangled full bloodily, Ground into dust and death! Like streams down-driven  With helpless haste, which go In headlong furious flow Straight to the gulfing deeps of th' unfilled ocean, So to that flaming cave Those heroes great and brave Pour, in unending streams, with helpless motion!

Like moths which in the night Flutter towards a light, Drawn to their fiery doom, flying and dying, So to their death still throng, Blind, dazzled, borne along Ceaselessly, all those multitudes, wild flying!

Thou, that hast fashioned men,
Devourest them again, One with another, great and small, alike! The creatures whom Thou mak'st, With flaming jaws Thou tak'st, Lapping them up! Lord God! Thy terrors strike  From end to end of earth, Filling life full, from birth To death, with deadly, burning, lurid dread!

Ah, Vishnu! make me know Why is Thy visage so? Who art Thou, feasting thus upon Thy dead?  Who? awful Deity! I bow myself to Thee, Namostu Te, Devavara! Prasad! O Mightiest Lord! rehearse Why hast Thou face so fierce? Whence doth this aspect horrible proceed?
