Devanagari script

न वेदयज्ञाध्ययनैर्न दानै- न च क्रियाभिर्न तपोभिरुग्रै: एवंरूप: शक्‍्य अहं नूलोके+ द्रष्ट त्ववन्येन कुरुप्रवीर,हे अर्जुन! मनुष्यलोकमें इस प्रकार विश्वरूपवाला मैं न वेद और यज्ञोंके अध्ययनसे, न दानसे, न क्रियाओंसे और न उग्र तपोंसे ही तेरे अतिरिक्त दूसरेके द्वारा देखा जा सकता हूँ:

Transliteration

na vedayajñādhyayanair na dānaiḥ na ca kriyābhir na tapobhir ugraiḥ | evaṃrūpaḥ śakyo ’haṃ nṛloke draṣṭuṃ tvadanyena kurupravīra ||

Translation

ହେ କୁରୁପ୍ରବୀର ଅର୍ଜୁନ! ମନୁଷ୍ୟଲୋକରେ ମୋର ଏହିପରି ବିଶ୍ୱରୂପ—ନ ବେଦ-ଯଜ୍ଞର ଅଧ୍ୟୟନରେ, ନ ଦାନରେ, ନ କ୍ରିୟାକର୍ମରେ, ନ ଉଗ୍ର ତପସ୍ୟାରେ—ତୋ ବ୍ୟତୀତ ଅନ୍ୟ କାହାର ଦ୍ୱାରା ଦେଖାଯାଇପାରେ ନାହିଁ।
