The vision that undoes the ego · 11.9–11.34 · Scene

Translation

Tell me, who you are, so fierce of form. I offer my salutations to you, O God Supreme; have mercy on me. I desire to know you, the original Being. I do not indeed know your workings.

Hindi translation

मुझे यह बताइये कि उग्ररूपवाले आप कौन हैं? हे देवताओंमें श्रेष्ठ ! आपको नमस्कार हो। आप प्रसन्न होइये। आदिरूप आपको मैं तत्त्वसे जानना चाहता हूँ; क्योंकि मैं आपकी प्रवृत्तिको नहीं जानता।
