1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 11 - Viswarupa Darsana Yoga - Sloka 24
Nabhah sparsham diptam aneka varanam vyattananam dipta vishala netram I
Drshtva hi tvam pravyathit antaratma dhritim na vindami samam cha vishno II sloka 24
नभः स्पर्शं दीप्तं अनेक वरणं व्यात्ताननं दीप्त विशाल नेत्रं I
दृष्ट्वा हि त्वं प्रव्यथित अन्तरात्मा धृतिं न विन्दामि शमं च विष्णो II श्लोक 24
When I behold you touching the supreme heaven, shining multicoloured, with yawning mouths and large resplendent eyes, my inner being trembles in fear. I am unable to find support or peace, O Vishnu.
It is but natural that one gets unnerved when one is driven into an inconceivable world devouring sight. One gets settled understanding only when one realises that fury and calmness are concommitant in the ocean of cosmic being.
Arjuna confesses the effect of the terror created in his mind in the next sloka
