Sanskrit
द्यावापृथिव्योरिदमन्तरं हि व्याप्तं त्वयैकेन दिशश्च सर्वाः । दृष्ट्वाऽद्भुतं रूपमुग्रं तवेदम् लोकत्रयं प्रव्यथितं महात्मन् ॥
dyāvāpṛthivyor idam antaraṃ hi vyāptaṃ tvayaikena diśaś ca sarvāḥ dṛṣṭvādbhutaṃ rūpam ugraṃ tavedaṃ lokatrayaṃ pravyathitaṃ mahātman
Translation
By Thee alone are filled the earth, the heavens, and all the regions that are stretched between; the triple worlds sink down, O mighty One, before Thine awful manifested Form.

Explanation
The scale of the report widens from Arjuna’s own perception to a claim about the entire cosmos: it isn’t only he who is shaking, it’s all three worlds (lokatrayam) trembling before the same form. The word “ugra,” fierce or terrible, is doing real work here and recurs through the verses ahead — this is the first point where the vision is named as frightening rather than merely vast, and it doesn’t let up from here.
