Arjuna was frightened to the hilt when he saw the cosmic form that was touching heaven, blazing with a variety of colors with open mouths and terrible, large eyes. He could not stand steady and found no peace.

The mouth of the cosmic form resembled the fire of dissolution with terrible teeth, ready to swallow the whole universe.

Arjuna lost his sense of direction, and as he became bewildered and agitated, pleaded to the Lord to show mercy on him.
