Lomaśa said: “(Within that divine form) he beheld the Ādityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Sādhyas together with the hosts of Maruts; the Pitṛs and Agni as well; and also the constellations and the planets.” In narrative context, the passage underscores a vision of cosmic order: the gods, ancestral powers, and celestial regulators are seen as integrated within a single, living reality—suggesting that dharma is grounded in recognizing the unity and hierarchy of the cosmos rather than in mere outward power.

The verse points to a dharmic worldview in which the many divine and cosmic forces—gods, ancestors, fire, stars, and planets—are parts of a single ordered reality. Ethical life (dharma) is aligned with acknowledging and respecting this cosmic structure rather than treating power or divinity as fragmented.
Lomaśa narrates a vision in which a divine/cosmic form is perceived as containing multiple classes of deities and celestial regulators: the Ādityas, Vasus, Rudras, Sādhyas, Maruts, the Pitṛs, Agni, and the astral bodies (nakṣatras and planets). It is a catalog-like description of what is seen within that all-encompassing manifestation.
