With reverence and awe, the devotee beheld the wondrous form of the Lord, whose eyes were countless—some radiant, some deformed, some threefold—beloved of the lord of the Yakṣas. The Lord’s hands and feet reached everywhere, faces, eyes, heads, and mouths manifesting on all sides, encompassing all directions. His hearing was limitless, attentive to every sound in the world, standing, pervading all things. His ears took on many shapes—like conches, vast and pot-like, even elephant and cow ears, and a hundred more—encircled by the ocean itself. The Lord’s form was adorned with a hundred bellies, a hundred whirlpools, a hundred tongues, eternal and unchanging. The singers of the Gāyatrī hymn praised Him, and the worshippers of the sun honored Him. He stood as protector of gods and demons alike, being Brahmā, Śatakratu (Indra), and all in one. He was the embodied, the great form, the ocean, and the repository of all waters; within Him, all deities found their dwelling, as cows in a cowshed. In His vast body, the devotee perceived Soma, Agni, the lord of waters, Āditya, Viṣṇu, Brahmā, and Bṛhaspati. In every action, instrument, and result, He was both the doer and the cause. He was the existent and the non-existent, origin and imperishability itself. The devotee offered salutations to Bhava, Śarva, Rudra, the giver of boons, and the lord of creatures, and to the destroyer of Andhaka. He bowed to the three-plaited, three-headed bearer of the excellent trident, to Tryambaka, the three-eyed, and the destroyer of Tripura. He honored the fierce one, the shaven-headed, the bearer of universal fierceness, the staff-holder, the one with conch-shaped ears, and the wielder of the staff. Salutations poured forth to the half-staff-haired, the dried-up, the deformed, the blood-red, the smoky, and the blue-necked. The devotee praised the unmatched, the deformed, the auspicious one, the sun, the lord of the sun, and the bearer of the sun-banner. He offered homage to the destroyer of hosts, to the one with the bull’s shoulder, to Hiraṇyagarbha, and to the one with golden armor and golden crest, the lord of gold, the slayer of enemies, the fierce one who rests among leaves. He saluted the praised, the praiseworthy, the one being praised, the all, the all-consuming, and the inner self of all beings. He honored the sacrificial fire, the mantra, the bearer of the white-banner, the unbowed, the bowed, and the one who makes loud sounds. He bowed to the one who lies down, who is lying, who rises, who stands, who runs, who is hunchbacked, and who is crooked. Salutations went to the dancer, the maker of mouth-instruments, the remover of obstacles, the greedy, and the creator of song and instruments. He honored the eldest, the best, the destroyer of strength, the fierce, and the ten-armed. He offered salutations to the one with the skull in hand, the lover of white ashes, the terrifying, the formidable, and the one who observes the terrible vow. The devotee praised the one with various deformed faces, with sword-tongue and fierce fangs, whose nourishment is the fortnight and month, and who delights in the lute and vina. He honored the one of terrible and non-terrible forms, more terrible than the terrible, yet also Shiva, the peaceful, and the most peaceful. He saluted the awakened one, the pure one, the lover of sharing, the wind, the flying one, and the one devoted to Sāṃkhya. He bowed to the one with a fierce single bell, the bell-sounder, the bell-bearer, the one with a hundred thousand bells, and the lover of garlands of bells. He honored the staff of life, the eternal one, the red one, the utterer of ‘hūṃ hūṃ’, Rudra, and the lover of the form of Bhaga. He saluted the one beyond the mountain, the lover of mountain trees, the lord of sacrifice, the being, and the progenitor. He offered salutations to the bearer of sacrifice, the restrained one, the ascetic, Bhaga, the bank, the bank-dweller, and the lord of rivers. He bowed to the giver of food, the lord of food, the eater of food, the thousand-headed one, and the thousand-footed one. He honored the one with a thousand-raised spears, a thousand eyes, the one of the color of the rising sun, and the bearer of a youthful form. Salutations were given to the one with the form of the rising sun, the child at play, the pure one, the awakened one, the agitator, and the destroyer. He praised the one whose hair is marked with waves, with loose hair, who is established in six rites and regulated by three actions. He saluted the one who rightly establishes the distinct duties of the castes and stages of life, the most excellent, the eldest, and the one of many sounds. He honored the one with white and tawny eyes, with black and red eyes; to Dharma, Kāma, Artha, and Mokṣa, to Kratha and Krathana. He saluted Sāṃkhya, the foremost in Sāṃkhya, the lord of yoga, the charioteer, the chief charioteer, and the lord of crossroads. He bowed to the one wearing a black antelope skin, the one with a serpent sacred thread, to Īśāna, the host of Rudras, and to Harikeśa. Salutations were offered to Tryambaka, lord of Ambikā, manifest and unmanifest, the destroyer of Kāla and Kāma, and the slayer of the wicked and unruly. He honored the one despised by all, destroyer of all, born instantly, the maddener, whose hair is wet with the waters of the hundred-turning Gaṅgā. He saluted the one with the whirl of the crescent moon and the whirl of clouds, the maker of food-giving, and the lord of food-giving. He bowed to the eater and protector of food, the fire of dissolution, and to all beings born of womb, egg, sweat, and sprout. He recognized the Lord as the fourfold host of beings, the creator and destroyer of the moving and unmoving. In all these forms and attributes, the devotee saw the infinite glory of the Lord, the source and end of all that is.
