I guess now is as good a time as any to ask about that line. It’s bugged me since I first heard it.
Since it is translated from Sanskrit anyway, why is it translated so…badly. “I am become death” isn’t even proper English, unless “become” is an adjective in context. Why couldn’t it be “I have become death”, or “I am becoming death”? What’s the deal? It’s so…awkward.
It’s like becoming boats!
