नेत्राभ्यां नस्ततश्चैव श्रोत्राभ्यां च समन्ततः । प्रादुरासन्महारौद्राः सधूमाः पावकार्चिषः । रोमकूपेषु च तथा सूर्यस्येव मरीचयः॥५-१२९-११॥

Then, from his eyes and likewise from his ears on every side, there manifested intensely formidable tongues of fire with smoke; and from the pores of his skin, rays appeared as though from the sun.

तं दृष्ट्वा घोरमात्मानं केशवस्य महात्मनः । न्यमीलयन्त नेत्राणि राजानस्त्रस्तचेतसः॥५-१२९-१२॥

Seeing that formidable manifestation of the great-souled Keśava, the kings—alarmed in mind—closed their eyes.

ऋते द्रोणं च भीष्मं च विदुरं च महामतिम् । संजयं च महाभागमृषींश्चैव तपोधनान् । प्रादात्तेषां स भगवान्दिव्यं चक्षुर्जनार्दनः॥५-१२९-१३॥

Except for Droṇa and Bhīṣma, the highly discerning Vidura, the fortunate Sañjaya, and the ascetic ṛṣis rich in tapas, Janārdana granted them divine sight so they could behold it.

तद्दृष्ट्वा महदाश्चर्यं माधवस्य सभातले । देवदुन्दुभयो नेदुः पुष्पवर्षं पपात च॥५-१२९-१४॥

On beholding that great marvel of Mādhava upon the floor of the assembly hall, the celestial drums of the gods resounded, and a rain of flowers fell.

चचाल च मही कृत्स्ना सागरश्चापि चुक्षुभे । विस्मयं परमं जग्मुः पार्थिवा भरतर्षभ॥५-१२९-१५॥

The whole earth trembled, and even the ocean was stirred. The kings were struck with the highest astonishment, O bull among the Bharatas.
