Seeing Your stupendous form, with manifold faces and eyes, O Mighty-armed, with many hands, thighs and feet, manifold bellies, multiple protruding teeth, all worlds are shaken in affliction; and so too am I.

Arjuna, on seeing further the ever expanding Universal form he so much cherished to see, however, feels frightened. What he sees is ineffably stupefying. It is such as to unleash untold fear in anyone. It is terrific, unnerving, no more wonderful and admirable!
It has countless hands, feet and thighs, numerous overwhelming bellies too. The teeth protruding from the mouth are beyond count. What except inexpressible fright can such a sight instil? Arjuna says, the entire worlds stand frightened, including himself!
