I see Thee without beginning, middle or end, infinite in power, of endless arms, the sun and the moon being Thy eyes, the burning fire Thy mouth, heating the whole universe with Thy radiance.

I see you without beginning, middle or end, of infinite power, with countless arms, with the moon and sun as your eyes, your mouth a blazing fire, scorching this whole universe with your radiance.

Arjuna returns to description, and the tone grows more intense. Again he finds no beginning, middle or end. The moon and sun are Krishna's eyes, and his mouth is a blazing fire. Most striking is the last image: Krishna's radiance is scorching the whole world. Until now the light of the form has been dazzling; here it begins to burn. The verse marks the turn from wonder toward fear. The same brilliance that revealed the universe now seems to threaten it, preparing for the terrifying images of devouring mouths that follow.
