The Universal Form
Kozmično telo
- TEXT 3:
- O greatest of all personalities, O supreme form, though I see You here before me in Your actual position, as You have described Yourself, I wish to see how You have entered into this cosmic manifestation. I want to see that form of Yours.
- VERZ 3:
- O največja med vsemi osebnostmi, o Vsevišnji Gospod, čeprav Te vidim v Tvojem izvornem telesu, katerega si mi sam opisal, bi rad videl Tvojo podobo, v kateri si vstopil v materialno vesolje.
- TEXT 4:
- If You think that I am able to behold Your cosmic form, O my Lord, O master of all mystic power, then kindly show me that unlimited universal Self.
- VERZ 4:
- Če misliš, da sem sposoben uzreti Tvoje kozmično telo, o Gospod, gospodar vseh mističnih moči, potem mi, prosim, pokaži ta brezmejni kozmični Jaz.
- TEXT 5:
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, O son of Pṛthā, see now My opulences, hundreds of thousands of varied divine and multicolored forms.
- VERZ 5:
- Vsevišnji Gospod je rekel: Dragi Arjuna, o Pṛthin sin, poglej zdaj Moje veličastje – stotine tisočev Mojih božanskih mnogobarvnih podob.
- TEXT 6:
- O best of the Bhāratas, see here the different manifestations of Ādityas, Vasus, Rudras, Aśvinī-kumāras and all the other demigods. Behold the many wonderful things which no one has ever seen or heard of before.
- VERZ 6:
- O največji med Bhāratami, poglej raznolike podobe Āditij, Vasujev, Ruder, Aśvinī-kumār in vseh drugih polbogov. Oglej si premnoga čudesa, katerih ni še nihče videl ali slišal zanje.
- TEXT 7:
- O Arjuna, whatever you wish to see, behold at once in this body of Mine! This universal form can show you whatever you now desire to see and whatever you may want to see in the future. Everything – moving and nonmoving – is here completely, in one place.
- VERZ 7:
- O Arjuna, vse, kar si želiš videti, lahko v trenutku uzreš v tem Mojem telesu. Kozmično telo ti lahko razodene vse, kar bi rad videl zdaj ali pa bi si zaželel videti v prihodnosti. Vse, premično in nepremično, je tukaj, na enem mestu.
- TEXTS 10-11:
- Arjuna saw in that universal form unlimited mouths, unlimited eyes, unlimited wonderful visions. The form was decorated with many celestial ornaments and bore many divine upraised weapons. He wore celestial garlands and garments, and many divine scents were smeared over His body. All was wondrous, brilliant, unlimited, all-expanding.
- VERZ 10-11:
- V Gospodovem kozmičnem telesu je Arjuna videl nešteto ust, nešteto oči in nešteto osupljivih prizorov. Gospod, ki Ga je krasilo mnogo sijajnih okrasov, je držal razne vrste božanskega orožja, pripravljenega, da ga uporabi. Njegovo telo, ovenčano s čudovitimi kitami cvetja, je bilo odeto v prelepa oblačila in premazano z mnogimi izbranimi dišavami. Vse je bilo čudežno, blesteče, brezmejno, vseprežemajoče.
- TEXT 12:
- If hundreds of thousands of suns were to rise at once into the sky, their radiance might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form.
- VERZ 12:
- Če bi na nebu hkrati vzšlo na stotine tisočev sonc, bi bila njihova svetloba morda podobna sijaju, ki se je širil iz kozmičnega telesa Vrhovne Osebe.
- TEXT 13:
- At that time Arjuna could see in the universal form of the Lord the unlimited expansions of the universe situated in one place although divided into many, many thousands.
- VERZ 13:
- Tedaj je Arjuna v Gospodovem kozmičnem telesu uzrl brezmejno vesolje, ki ga je videl na enem mestu, čeprav je razdeljeno na tisoče in tisoče delov.
- TEXT 14:
- Then, bewildered and astonished, his hair standing on end, Arjuna bowed his head to offer obeisances and with folded hands began to pray to the Supreme Lord.
- VERZ 14:
- Arjuna je zatem zmeden, osupel in naježene kože spoštljivo priklonil glavo ter s sklenjenimi rokami začel moliti k Vsevišnjemu Gospodu.
- TEXT 15:
- Arjuna said: My dear Lord Kṛṣṇa, I see assembled in Your body all the demigods and various other living entities. I see Brahmā sitting on the lotus flower, as well as Lord Śiva and all the sages and divine serpents.
- VERZ 15:
- Arjuna je rekel: Dragi Gospod Kṛṣṇa, v Tvojem telesu vidim zbrane vse polbogove in razna druga živa bitja. Vidim Brahmo, sedečega na lotosovem cvetu, pa tudi Śivo ter vse modrece in božanske kače.
- TEXT 16:
- O Lord of the universe, O universal form, I see in Your body many, many arms, bellies, mouths and eyes, expanded everywhere, without limit. I see in You no end, no middle and no beginning.
- VERZ 16:
- O gospodar univerzuma, v Tvojem kozmičnem telesu vidim množico rok, trebuhov, ust in oči, ki se razprostirajo vsepovsod, brez meja. Ne vidim Ti ne konca, ne sredine, ne začetka.
- TEXT 17:
- Your form is difficult to see because of its glaring effulgence, spreading on all sides, like blazing fire or the immeasurable radiance of the sun. Yet I see this glowing form everywhere, adorned with various crowns, clubs and discs.
- VERZ 17:
- Zelo težko je zreti v to Tvojo podobo, saj jo z vseh strani obdaja slepeč sijaj, podoben plamenečemu ognju ali brezmejni svetlobi sonca. Pa vendar vsepovsod vidim ta bleščeči lik s kronami na glavah ter z žezli in diski v rokah.
- TEXT 18:
- You are the supreme primal objective. You are the ultimate resting place of all this universe. You are inexhaustible, and You are the oldest. You are the maintainer of the eternal religion, the Personality of Godhead. This is my opinion.
- VERZ 18:
- Ti si najvišji, glavni cilj in poslednje počivališče univerzuma. Neizčrpen in najstarejši si. Ti si zaščitnik večne religije in Božanska Osebnost. O tem sem popolnoma prepričan.
- TEXT 19:
- You are without origin, middle or end. Your glory is unlimited. You have numberless arms, and the sun and moon are Your eyes. I see You with blazing fire coming forth from Your mouth, burning this entire universe by Your own radiance.
- VERZ 19:
- Brez začetka, sredine in konca si. Tvoje veličastje je brezmejno. Nešteto rok imaš, sonce in mesec pa sta Tvoji očesi. Vidim, kako iz Tvojih ust bruha plameneč ogenj in kako s Svojim sijajem sežigaš cel univerzum.
- TEXT 20:
- Although You are one, You spread throughout the sky and the planets and all space between. O great one, seeing this wondrous and terrible form, all the planetary systems are perturbed.
- VERZ 20:
- Čeprav si en sam, se razprostiraš čez nebo, planete in ves vmesni prostor. O veliki Gospod, ob pogledu na to čudežno in strašno podobo vsi planetni sistemi vztrepetajo.
- TEXT 21:
- All the hosts of demigods are surrendering before You and entering into You. Some of them, very much afraid, are offering prayers with folded hands. Hosts of great sages and perfected beings, crying “All peace!” are praying to You by singing the Vedic hymns.
- VERZ 21:
- Vsi polbogovi se Ti predajajo in vstopajo Vate. Nekateri od njih Ti s sklenjenimi rokami prestrašeni posvečajo molitve. Množice velikih modrecev in popolnih bitij vzklikajo: „Naj bo mir!“ in molijo k Tebi, pojoč vedske himne.
- TEXT 22:
- All the various manifestations of Lord Śiva, the Ādityas, the Vasus, the Sādhyas, the Viśvedevas, the two Aśvīs, the Maruts, the forefathers, the Gandharvas, the Yakṣas, the Asuras and the perfected demigods are beholding You in wonder.
- VERZ 22:
- Vse emanacije Śive, pa tudi Āditye, Vasuji, Sādhye, Viśvedeve, oba Aśvīja, Maruti, predniki, gandharve, yakṣe, asure in polbogovi, ki so dosegli popolnost, Te gledajo z velikim začudenjem.
- TEXT 23:
- O mighty-armed one, all the planets with their demigods are disturbed at seeing Your great form, with its many faces, eyes, arms, thighs, legs and bellies and Your many terrible teeth; and as they are disturbed, so am I.
- VERZ 23:
- O Gospod močnih rok, vsi planeti in polbogovi, ki prebivajo na njih, trepetajo ob pogledu na Tvojo velikansko podobo, njene številne obraze, oči, roke, stegna, noge, trebuhe in strašne zobe. In kakor oni, trepečem tudi jaz.
- TEXT 24:
- O all-pervading Viṣṇu, seeing You with Your many radiant colors touching the sky, Your gaping mouths, and Your great glowing eyes, my mind is perturbed by fear. I can no longer maintain my steadiness or equilibrium of mind.
- VERZ 24:
- O vsepričujoči Viṣṇu, ko Te gledam, kako se v različnih bleščečih barvah dotikaš neba, ko gledam Tvoja zevajoča usta in ogromne žareče oči, me preveva strah in ne morem ohraniti stanovitnosti ter mirnega uma.
- TEXT 25:
- O Lord of lords, O refuge of the worlds, please be gracious to me. I cannot keep my balance seeing thus Your blazing deathlike faces and awful teeth. In all directions I am bewildered.
- VERZ 25:
- O Bog vseh bogov, o zavetje svetov, prosim Te, bodi milosten do mene. Ob pogledu na Tvoje plameneče, smrtonosne obraze in strašne zobe sem izgubil razsodnost. Kamor koli se ozrem, sem zmeden.
- TEXTS 26-27:
- All the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, along with their allied kings, and Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa – and our chief soldiers also – are rushing into Your fearful mouths. And some I see trapped with heads smashed between Your teeth.
- VERZ 26-27:
- Vidim, kako vsi Dhṛtarāṣṭrovi sinovi, kralji, ki so stopili na njihovo stran, pa tudi Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa in naši vojaški poveljniki hitijo v Tvoja strašna usta. Vidim, kako so nekateri od njih z zdrobljenimi glavami ujeti med Tvoje zobe.
- TEXT 30:
- O Viṣṇu, I see You devouring all people from all sides with Your flaming mouths. Covering all the universe with Your effulgence, You are manifest with terrible, scorching rays.
- VERZ 30:
- O Viṣṇu, vidim, kako s Svojimi plamenečimi usti na vseh straneh požiraš ljudi. S Svojim sijajem napolnjuješ celo vesolje in širiš zastrašujoče, žgoče žarke.
- TEXT 31:
- O Lord of lords, so fierce of form, please tell me who You are. I offer my obeisances unto You; please be gracious to me. You are the primal Lord. I want to know about You, for I do not know what Your mission is.
- VERZ 31:
- O gospodar polbogov, ki vzbujaš grozo, prosim Te, povej mi, kdo si. Spoštljivo se Ti priklanjam in Te prosim za milost. Prvobitni Gospod si in rad bi Te spoznal, saj ne vem, kakšno je Tvoje poslanstvo.
- TEXT 32:
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. With the exception of you [the Pāṇḍavas], all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain.
- VERZ 32:
- Vsevišnji Gospod je rekel: Jaz sem čas, veliki uničevalec svetov, in prišel sem, da pokončam vse ljudi. Vsi vojaki obeh vojska razen vas [Pāṇḍav] bodo ubiti na bojišču.
- TEXT 33:
- Therefore get up. Prepare to fight and win glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyasācī, can be but an instrument in the fight.
- VERZ 33:
- Zatorej vstani! Pripravi se za boj in si pridobi slavo. Premagaj sovražnike in uživaj cvetoče kraljestvo. Jaz sem jih že pobil in ti, Savyasācī, si lahko le orodje v bitki.
- TEXT 34:
- Droṇa, Bhīṣma, Jayadratha, Karṇa and the other great warriors have already been destroyed by Me. Therefore, kill them and do not be disturbed. Simply fight, and you will vanquish your enemies in battle.
- VERZ 34:
- Droṇo, Bhīṣmo, Jayadratho, Karṇo in druge velike bojevnike sem pogubil že Jaz. Zato jih pobij in se ne vznemirjaj. Samo bojuj se in premagal boš vse svoje sovražnike.
- TEXT 35:
- Sañjaya said to Dhṛtarāṣṭra: O King, after hearing these words from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the trembling Arjuna offered obeisances with folded hands again and again. He fearfully spoke to Lord Kṛṣṇa in a faltering voice, as follows.
- VERZ 35:
- Sañjaya je rekel Dhṛtarāṣṭri: O kralj, ko je Arjuna slišal besede Vsevišnje Božanske Osebnosti, je trepetaje sklenil roke in se začel spoštljivo priklanjati Gospodu. Z glasom, drhtečim od strahu, je Gospodu Kṛṣṇi rekel sledeče.
- TEXT 36:
- Arjuna said: O master of the senses, the world becomes joyful upon hearing Your name, and thus everyone becomes attached to You. Although the perfected beings offer You their respectful homage, the demons are afraid, and they flee here and there. All this is rightly done.
- VERZ 36:
- Arjuna je rekel: O gospodar čutov, ko se zasliši Tvoje ime, svet preplavi radost, in tako se vsakdo naveže Nate. Tisti, ki so dosegli popolnost, se Ti priklanjajo z velikim spoštovanjem, demoni pa v strahu bežijo na vse strani. In tako je tudi prav.
- TEXT 37:
- O great one, greater even than Brahmā, You are the original creator. Why then should they not offer their respectful obeisances unto You? O limitless one, God of gods, refuge of the universe! You are the invincible source, the cause of all causes, transcendental to this material manifestation.
- VERZ 37:
- O veliki, ki presegaš samega Brahmo, Ti si prvotni stvarnik. Zakaj Ti potem ne bi izkazali spoštovanja? O brezmejni, o Bog vseh bogov in zatočišče univerzuma! Ti si neuničljivi vir in vzrok vseh vzrokov ter si onstran materialnega sveta.
- TEXT 38:
- You are the original Personality of Godhead, the oldest, the ultimate sanctuary of this manifested cosmic world. You are the knower of everything, and You are all that is knowable. You are the supreme refuge, above the material modes. O limitless form! This whole cosmic manifestation is pervaded by You!
- VERZ 38:
- Ti si izvorni Vsevišnji Gospod, najstarejša osebnost in končno počivališče materialnega vesolja. Vse veš in si vse, kar je mogoče spoznati. Ti si najvišje zatočišče, kjer ni vpliva guṇ materialne narave. O brezmejni! Prisoten si vsepovsod v materialnem vesolju!
- TEXT 39:
- You are air, and You are the supreme controller! You are fire, You are water, and You are the moon! You are Brahmā, the first living creature, and You are the great-grandfather. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto You a thousand times, and again and yet again!
- VERZ 39:
- Ti si zrak in vrhovni upravitelj! Ogenj, voda in mesec si! Ti si Brahmā, prvo živo bitje v univerzumu, in praded. Zato se Ti tisočkrat, znova in znova, spoštljivo priklanjam!
- TEXT 40:
- Obeisances to You from the front, from behind and from all sides! O unbounded power, You are the master of limitless might! You are all-pervading, and thus You are everything!
- VERZ 40:
- Priklanjam se pred Teboj in za Teboj, priklanjam se Ti z vseh strani! O neizmerno močni, Ti si gospodar brezmejne energije. Vsepričujoč si, zato si vse!
- TEXTS 41-42:
- Thinking of You as my friend, I have rashly addressed You “O Kṛṣṇa,” “O Yādava,” “O my friend,” not knowing Your glories. Please forgive whatever I may have done in madness or in love. I have dishonored You many times, jesting as we relaxed, lay on the same bed, or sat or ate together, sometimes alone and sometimes in front of many friends. O infallible one, please excuse me for all those offenses.
- VERZ 41-42:
- Imel sem Te za prijatelja in Te nepremišljeno nagovarjal z „O Kṛṣṇa“, „O Yādava“, „O prijatelj moj“, ne da bi poznal Tvojo veličino. Prosim Te, oprosti mi vse, kar sem storil iz neumnosti ali pa iz ljubezni. Kadar sva se zabavala, ležala na isti postelji, sedela ali obedovala, včasih sama, včasih pa skupaj z mnogimi prijatelji, sem bil s svojimi šaljivimi besedami večkrat nespoštljiv do Tebe. O neizmerni, prosim Te, odpusti mi vse te žalitve.
- TEXT 43:
- You are the father of this complete cosmic manifestation, of the moving and the nonmoving. You are its worshipable chief, the supreme spiritual master. No one is greater than You, nor can anyone be one with You. How then could there be anyone greater than You within the three worlds, O Lord of immeasurable power?
- VERZ 43:
- Ti si oče celega materialnega vesolja, vsega premičnega in nepremičnega v njem. Ti si njegov čaščeni gospodar in najvišji duhovni učitelj. Nihče Ti ni enak in nihče Te ne presega. Kdo v vseh treh svetovih bi bil lahko potem večji od Tebe, o brezmejno močni Gospod?
- TEXT 44:
- You are the Supreme Lord, to be worshiped by every living being. Thus I fall down to offer You my respectful obeisances and ask Your mercy. As a father tolerates the impudence of his son, a friend the impertinence of a friend, or a husband the familiarity of his wife, please tolerate the wrongs I may have done You.
- VERZ 44:
- Ti si Vsevišnji Gospod in častiti bi Te morala vsa živa bitja. Zato v znak spoštovanja padam pred Tebe in Te prosim za milost. Kakor oče mirno prenaša predrznost sina, prijatelj nespoštljivost prijatelja, žena pa preveliko domačnost moža, tako tudi Ti, prosim, spreglej žalitve, ki sem jih morda storil.
- TEXT 45:
- After seeing this universal form, which I have never seen before, I am gladdened, but at the same time my mind is disturbed with fear. Therefore please bestow Your grace upon me and reveal again Your form as the Personality of Godhead, O Lord of lords, O abode of the universe.
- VERZ 45:
- Ob pogledu na Tvoje kozmično telo, ki ga nisem videl nikoli prej, sem radosten, hkrati pa je moj um vznemirjen od strahu. Zato Te prosim, o gospodar polbogov in prebivališče univerzuma, da mi izkažeš Svojo milost in znova stopiš predme v podobi Božanske Osebnosti.
- TEXT 46:
- O universal form, O thousand-armed Lord, I wish to see You in Your four-armed form, with helmeted head and with club, wheel, conch and lotus flower in Your hands. I long to see You in that form.
- VERZ 46:
- O kozmični lik, o Gospod s tisoč rokami, rad bi videl Tvojo štiriroko podobo s krono na glavi ter z žezlom, diskom, školjko in lotosovim cvetom v rokah. Zelo si Te želim videti takšnega.
- TEXT 47:
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, happily have I shown you, by My internal potency, this supreme universal form within the material world. No one before you has ever seen this primal form, unlimited and full of glaring effulgence.
- VERZ 47:
- Vsevišnji Gospod je rekel: Dragi Moj Arjuna, po Svoji notranji energiji sem ti z zadovoljstvom pokazal vrhovno kozmično telo v materialnem svetu. Nihče pred teboj še ni videl te izvorne, brezmejne podobe, polne slepečega sijaja.
- TEXT 48:
- O best of the Kuru warriors, no one before you has ever seen this universal form of Mine, for neither by studying the Vedas, nor by performing sacrifices, nor by charity, nor by pious activities, nor by severe penances can I be seen in this form in the material world.
- VERZ 48:
- O največji med bojevniki Kurujev, nihče pred teboj še ni videl tega kozmičnega telesa, kajti v tej podobi Me v materialnem svetu ni mogoče uzreti ne s proučevanjem Ved, ne z opravljanjem žrtvovanj, ne z dajanjem miloščine, ne s pobožnimi dejanji, niti s strogo askezo.
- TEXT 49:
- You have been perturbed and bewildered by seeing this horrible feature of Mine. Now let it be finished. My devotee, be free again from all disturbances. With a peaceful mind you can now see the form you desire.
- VERZ 49:
- Ob pogledu na Mojo zastrašujočo podobo si postal nemiren in zmeden. Naj bo zdaj konec tega. Bhakta Moj, bodi znova popolnoma nevznemirjen. Zdaj Me lahko mirnega uma vidiš v podobi, v kateri si Me želel videti.
- TEXT 50:
- Sañjaya said to Dhṛtarāṣṭra: The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, having spoken thus to Arjuna, displayed His real four-armed form and at last showed His two-armed form, thus encouraging the fearful Arjuna.
- VERZ 50:
- Sañjaya je rekel Dhṛtarāṣṭri: To rekoč, se je Kṛṣṇa, Vsevišnja Božanska Osebnost, pojavil pred Arjuno v štiriroki podobi, nazadnje pa še v Svoji podobi z dvema rokama, in tako opogumil prestrašenega Arjuno.
- TEXT 51:
- When Arjuna thus saw Kṛṣṇa in His original form, he said: O Janārdana, seeing this humanlike form, so very beautiful, I am now composed in mind, and I am restored to my original nature.
- VERZ 51:
- Ko je Arjuna videl Kṛṣṇo v Njegovi izvorni podobi, je rekel: O Janārdana, zdaj, ko vidim Tvojo prečudovito človeško podobo, je moj um miren in znova sem v svojem prejšnjem stanju.
- TEXT 52:
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, this form of Mine you are now seeing is very difficult to behold. Even the demigods are ever seeking the opportunity to see this form, which is so dear.
- VERZ 52:
- Vsevišnji Gospod je rekel: Dragi Moj Arjuna, takega, kakršnega Me vidiš zdaj, Me je zelo težko uzreti. Celo polbogovi nenehno iščejo priložnost, da bi Me videli v tej podobi, ki jim je tako pri srcu.
- TEXT 53:
- The form you are seeing with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by studying the Vedas, nor by undergoing serious penances, nor by charity, nor by worship. It is not by these means that one can see Me as I am.
- VERZ 53:
- Podobe, ki jo vidiš s svojimi transcendentalnimi očmi, ni mogoče uzreti zgolj s proučevanjem Ved, s strogo askezo, z dajanjem miloščine ali z obredi čaščenja. Vse te dejavnosti živemu bitju ne pomagajo, da bi Me videlo takega, kakršen sem.
- TEXT 54:
- My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding.
- VERZ 54:
- Dragi Moj Arjuna, človek Me lahko spozna takega, kakršen sem, in Me vidi neposredno, v podobi, v kateri stojim pred teboj, samo s čistim vdanim služenjem. Le tako je mogoče pronikniti v skrivnost razumevanja Mene.
- TEXT 55:
- My dear Arjuna, he who engages in My pure devotional service, free from the contaminations of fruitive activities and mental speculation, he who works for Me, who makes Me the supreme goal of his life, and who is friendly to every living being – he certainly comes to Me.
- VERZ 55:
- Dragi Moj Arjuna, kdor Mi služi s čisto vdanostjo, neomadeževano z delovanjem za čutno uživanje in spekulativnim filozofiranjem, kdor deluje Zame, kdor Me postavi za najvišji cilj življenja in je prijateljski do vseh živih bitij, zagotovo pride k Meni.
