Mūla — the verse
Gita Press numberingTranslation
Swami Gambhīrānanda · follows Śaṅkara-bhāṣyaMay you have no fear, and may there be no bewilderment upon seeing this form of Mine so terrible. Becoming free from fear and gladdened in mind once again, behold this earlier form of Mine.
हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda
इस प्रकार मेरे इस घोर रूप को देखकर तुम व्यथा और मूढ़भाव को मत प्राप्त हो। निर्भय और प्रसन्नचित्त होकर तुम पुन: मेरे उसी (पूर्व के) रूप को देखो।।

from Q&A with KnA“Be not afraid, nor bewildered, at seeing this terrible form of Mine; free of fear and glad of heart, behold again that other, familiar form.” K reassures the shaken seer. The vision of the Absolute is not meant to leave one broken but to be integrated — one must be able to hold the terrible truth and yet return, unafraid, to ordinary loving relationship. Maturity is to have seen Time-the-devourer and still be able to smile at the friend’s face.
