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.

Swami Sivananda

I am delighted by seeing something I have not seen before, and my mind is stricken with fear. O Lord, show me that very form; O Supreme God, O Abode of the Universe, be gracious!

Swami Gambirananda

Seeing something never seen before, I am delighted. But my mind is also filled with awe. Show me, O Lord! Your other form. O Lord of the gods! Be gracious, O Abode of the universe!

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

I am thrilled by what I have not seen before; my mind is greatly distressed with fear; show me Your usual form, O God! Lord of gods! O Abode of the worlds!

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

I rejoice that I have seen what no man has ever seen before; yet, O Lord! I am overwhelmed with fear. Please take on the form I know. Be merciful, O Lord! You who are the home of the entire universe.

Shri Purohit Swami

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।

Swami Ramsukhdas

मैं आपके इस अदृष्टपूर्व रूप को देखकर हर्षित हो रहा हूँ और मेरा मन भय से अतिव्याकुल भी हो रहा हैं। इसलिए हे देव! आप उस पूर्वकाल को ही मुझे दिखाइये। हे देवेश! हे जगन्निवास! आप प्रसन्न होइये।
