BG 11.25
When I see your fearful jaws, glowing like the all-consuming fire of final dissolution, I forget where I am, and can find no rest. Be merciful on me, lord of lords, in whom this universe abides!

The forces of vitality, major stars, fire, earth, air, sky, sun, heaven, moon, planets, angels, guardians of the universe, divine healers, winds, fathers, heavenly singers, and hosts of material-worshippers, demons, and saints, all gaze upon you in amazement. Seeing your immense form, with many mouths, eyes, arms, thighs, feet, teeth, and stomachs, the worlds tremble in fear, as do I. When I see you, touching the heavens, glowing with color, with mouth wide open and resplendent eyes blazing, I am filled with terror - my courage and peace of mind abandons me. When I see your fearful jaws, glowing like the all-consuming fire of final dissolution, I forget where I am, and can find no rest. Be merciful on me, lord of lords, in whom this universe abides!
