hṛṣṭa-romā dhanañ-jayaḥ
praṇamya śirasā devaṁ
kṛtāñjalir abhāṣata
Word for word:
tataḥ — thereafter; saḥ — he; vismaya–āviṣṭaḥ — being overwhelmed with wonder; hṛṣṭa–romā — with his bodily hairs standing on end due to his great ecstasy; dhanam–jayaḥ — Arjuna; praṇamya — offering obeisances; śirasā— with the head; devam — to the Supreme Personality of Godhead; kṛta–añjaliḥ — with folded hands; abhāṣata— began to speak.
Translation:
Then, bewildered and astonished, his hair standing on end, Arjuna bowed his head to offer obeisances and with folded hands began to pray to the Supreme Lord.
tataḥ sa vismayāviṣṭo, vismay means amazement, astonishment, vismaya + aviṣṭo, he was not just amazed but he was overwhelmed by amazement,
hṛṣṭa-romā dhanañ-jayaḥ, hṛṣṭa, to rise, romā, hair,
praṇamya śirasā devaṁ, then he bows down
kṛtāñjalir abhāṣata, kṛtāñjalir with folded hand bhāṣata, so Arjuna starts speaking over here
