Edwin Arnold - Then, O King! The God, so saying, Stood, to Pritha's...

Then, O King! The God, so saying, Stood, to Pritha's Son displayingAll the splendour, wonder, dreadOf His vast Almighty-head. Out of countless eyes beholding, Out of countless mouths commanding, Countless mystic forms enfoldingIn one Form: supremely standingCountless radiant glories wearing, Countless heavenly weapons bearing, Crowned with garlands of star-clusters, Robed in garb of woven lustres, Breathing from His perfect PresenceBreaths of every subtle essenceOf all heavenly odours; sheddingBlinding brilliance; overspreading-Boundless, beautiful- all spacesWith His all-regarding faces; So He showed! If there should riseSuddenly within the skiesSunburst of a thousand sunsFlooding earth with beams undeemed-of, Then might be that Holy One'sMajesty and radiance dreamed of!
