TRANSLATION
Devouring all the worlds on every side with your flaming mouths, You lick them up. Your fiery rays, filling the whole universe with their radiance, scorch it, O Vishnu.
PURPORT
Devouring all these kings with Your flaming mouths, You lick them up, namely, lick up again and again in great anger. Your lips etc., are wet with their blood. Your fiery rays scorch the universe by the brilliant flow of radiance filling the whole universe.
You have manifested Yourself in this terrible form for revealing Your limitless sovereignty as requested by me thus: ‘Reveal Yourself to me completely’ (11.4), so that I may realise Your limitless sovereignty.
