Bhagavad Gita 11.10

अनेकवक्त्रनयनमनेकाद्भुतदर्शनम्। अनेकदिव्याभरणं दिव्यानेकोद्यतायुधम्॥

aneka-vaktra-nayanam anekādbhuta-darśhanam aneka-divyābharaṇaṁ divyānekodyatāyudham

Translation

With many mouths and eyes, with many visions of marvel, with many divine ornaments, with many upraised divine weapons;

What it means

With countless mouths and eyes, countless marvelous sights, divine ornaments, divine uplifted weapons. The description strains vocabulary. Multiplicity itself becomes the medium of awe.

Try this today

The form exceeds every category: mouths, eyes, wonders, weapons - all multiplied.

Something to reflect on

What in my life exceeds its frame - too many channels addressed at once?
