I wonder if anyone here can help me...

When asked to express his feelings upon witnessing the first atomic bomb
test in 1945, Robert Oppenheimer quoted a passage from the Bhagavad-Gita: "I
am become death - the shatterer of worlds".

I have been going through a copy of the BG looking for this quote, but have
been unable to find it. Would any of you happen to know whereabouts it is
and, if so, be kind enough to mail me a reference?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Regards,

Robin.
