Bhagavad Gita 11.31

आख्याहि मे को भवानुग्ररूपोनमोऽस्तु ते देववर प्रसीद।विज्ञातुमिच्छामि भवन्तमाद्यंन हि प्रजानामि तव प्रवृत्तिम्॥

ākhyāhi me ko bhavānugrarūponamo'stu te devavara prasīda |vijñātumicchāmi bhavantamādyaṃna hi prajānāmi tava pravṛttim ||

Tell me, who you are, so fierce of form. I offer my salutations to you, O God Supreme; have mercy on me. I desire to know you, the original Being. I do not indeed know your workings.

Translation by Swami Sivananda · Public domain in India (translator d. 1963)

Tell me then, who are You, who wears this dreadful form? I bow before You, O Mighty One! Have mercy, I pray, and let me see You as You were at first. I do not know what Your intentions are.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
