অর্জুন বললেন: রুদ্র, আদিত্য, বসু, সাধ্য, বিশ্বেদেব, যুগল অশ্বিনীকুমার, মরুতগণ ও পিতৃসমূহ; এবং গন্ধর্ব, যক্ষ, অসুর ও সিদ্ধদের দল—সকলেই বিস্ময়ে আপনাকে চেয়ে আছে।

The verse underscores the overwhelming majesty of the Supreme’s cosmic manifestation: even the highest classes of gods and perfected beings are struck with awe. Ethically, it frames humility and reverence as the proper response to a reality that transcends ordinary power and status.
Arjuna, beholding the divine universal form, reports that all orders of celestial beings—gods, semi-divine hosts, and perfected sages—are watching in amazement. His words amplify the scale of the revelation and his own growing reverential fear and wonder.
