Translation

I am delighted, having seen something never seen before; yet my mind is distressed with fear. Show me that form only, O God; have mercy, O God of gods, O Abode of the universe.

Hindi translation

मैंने ऐसा रुप पहले कभी नहीं देखा। इस रूपको देखकर मैं हर्षित हो रहा हूँ और (साथ-ही-साथ) भयसे मेरा मन अत्यन्त व्यथित हो रहा है। अतः आप मुझे अपने उसी देवरूपको (सौम्य विष्णुरूपको) दिखाइये। हे देवेश ! हे जगन्निवास ! आप प्रसन्न होइये।

Meaning

For an ordinary man the Cosmic Form (Vision) is overwhelming and terrifying but for a Yogi it is encouraging, strengthening and soulelevating.Arjuna says The Cosmic Form was never before seen by me. Show me only that form which Thou wearest as my friend.
