Translation

Swami Gambhīrānanda · follows Śaṅkara-bhāṣya

Arjuna said, "O Hrsikesa, it is proper that the world be delighted and attracted by Your praise; that the Raksasas, stricken with fear, run in all directions; and that all the groups of the Siddhas bow down to You."

हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda

अर्जुन ने कहा -- यह योग्य ही है कि आपके कीर्तन से जगत् अति हर्षित होता है और अनुराग को भी प्राप्त होता है। भयभीत राक्षस लोग समस्त दिशाओं में भागते हैं और समस्त सिद्धगणों के समुदाय आपको नमस्कार करते हैं।।

from Q&A with KnA
11.36“Space liquefies.”

Arjuna, recovering his voice, breaks into praise (the passage from 11.36): “Rightly does the world rejoice and delight in Your glory; the demons flee in fear to every quarter, and the hosts of the perfected bow down.” The trembling has turned to adoration. Where a moment ago there was only terror, now there is a hymn — for the same Form that devours is also that in which “the whole world rejoices”. The seer’s response completes the vision: terror alone would be mere fright; terror ripening into worship is religious awe (recall the “wonder” of 2.29).
