Having seen Thy mouths fearful with teeth blazing like the fires of cosmic dissolution, I know not the four quarters, nor do I find peace. Have mercy, O Lord of the gods, O abode of the universe.

Swami Sivananda

Having merely seen Your mouths made terrible with their teeth and resembling the fire of Dissolution, I have lost my sense of direction and find no comfort. Be gracious, O Lord of gods, O Abode of the Universe.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

Viewing Your mouths, presenting awe-generating fangs and looking like the consuming fire of final destruction, I know not the quarters of the globe nor do I find repose. Be gracious, O Lord of the Devas! O Abode of the universe!

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

By merely seeing Your faces, which are frightening with tusks and look like the fire of destruction, I do not know the arters and get no peace. Have mercy, O Lord of gods! O Abode of the Universe!

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

When I see Thy mouths with their fearful jaws, like glowing fires at the dissolution of creation, I lose all sense of place and find no rest. Be merciful, O Lord, in whom this universe abides!

Shri Purohit Swami

आपके प्रलयकालकी अग्निके समान प्रज्वलित और दाढ़ोंके कारण विकराल (भयानक) मुखोंको देखकर मुझे न तो दिशाओंका ज्ञान हो रहा है और न शान्ति ही मिल रही है। इसलिये हे देवेश ! हे जगन्निवास ! आप प्रसन्न होइये।

Swami Ramsukhdas

आपके विकराल दाढ़ों वाले और प्रलयाग्नि के समान प्रज्वलित मुखों को देखकर, मैं न दिशाओं को जान पा रहा हूँ और न शान्ति को प्राप्त हो रहा हूँ; इसलिए हे देवेश!  हे जगन्निवास! आप प्रसन्न हो जाइए।
