11.10
अनेकवक्त्रनयनमनेकाद्भुतदर्शनम्
This is the description of the Virat (the physical universe as the body of the Lord). The infinite mouths and eyes show that all living beings' organs of perception and consumption are parts of this one Cosmic Body. The raised weapons show that the time for the destruction of the wicked has arrived.
