Bhagavad Gita 11.24 — Arjuna loses his calm

नभःस्पृशं दीप्तमनेकवर्णं व्यात्ताननं दीप्तविशालनेत्रम्। दृष्ट्वा हि त्वां प्रव्यथितान्तरात्मा धृतिं न विन्दामि शमं च विष्णो ॥

nabhaḥspṛśaṃ dīptamanekavarṇaṃ vyāttānanaṃ dīptaviśālanetram | dṛṣṭvā hi tvāṃ pravyathitāntarātmā dhṛtiṃ na vindāmi śamaṃ ca viṣṇo ||

Meaning

Seeing you touching the sky, blazing in many colours, with mouths wide open and huge fiery eyes, my heart shakes with fear, O Vishnu. I can find neither courage nor peace.
