Kirīṭinaṁ gadinaṁ chakra-hastam icchāmi tvāṁ draṣhṭum ahaṁ tathaiva, tenaiva rūpeṇa chatur-bhujena sahasra-bāho bhava vishva-mūrte

I wish to see You as before with Your crown, mace, and discus in hand. O thousand-armed, universal form, please appear in that four-armed form.

  • The devotee prefers the personal form over the cosmic one
  • God's familiar form is more approachable than the universal form
  • Love seeks intimacy, not mere vastness
