Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya: Ramanuja Ramanuja's Commentary The words bahu-damstra-karalam mean innumerable terrible teeth which was terrifying in appearance. The word lokah or worlds refers to the three types of beings inhabiting these worlds. Those who are benevolent, those who are inimical and those who are neutral. Almost all of them just like Arjuna were trembling in fright at the ferocity of Lord Krishna's visvarupa or divine universal form.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya: Nimbaditya Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary Lord Krishna's visvarupa or divine universal form was so colossal it extended beyond the sky into all the spaces between the galaxies and even unto the universes.
