THE BHAGAVAD-GITA.
There is none like to Thee. Who passeth Thee?
Pre-eminent Thy power in all the worlds. (43)
तस्मात्प्रणम्य प्रणिधाय कायम्
प्रसादये त्वामहमीशमीड्यम् ।
पितेव पुत्रस्य सखेव सख्युः
प्रियः प्रियायार्हसि देव सोढुम् ॥ ४४ ॥Therefore I fall before Thee; with my body
I worship as it fitting; bless Thou me.
As father with the son, as friend with friend,
With the beloved as lover, bear with me. (44)
अदृष्टपूर्वं हृषितोऽस्मि दृष्ट्वा
भयेन च प्रव्यथितं मनो मे ।
तदेव मे दर्शय देव रूपम्
प्रसीद देवेश जगन्निवास ॥ ४५ ॥I have seen that which none hath seen before,
My heart is glad, yet faileth me for fear;
Show me, O God, Thine other Form again—
Mercy, O God of Gods, home of all worlds— (45)
