The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Arjuna describes how all beings respond to the cosmic form. 'Amī hi tvāṁ sura-saṅghāḥ viśanti'—indeed (hi), these (amī) hosts of gods (sura-saṅghāḥ) enter (viśanti) You (tvām). 'Kecid bhītāḥ prāñjalayo gṛṇanti'—some (kecit), fearful (bhītāḥ), with folded hands (prāñjalayaḥ), praise (gṛṇanti) You. 'Svastīty uktvā maharṣi-siddha-saṅghāḥ'—having said (uktvā) 'Svasti' (auspiciousness), the hosts (saṅghāḥ) of great sages (maharṣi) and perfected beings (siddha). 'Stuvanti tvāṁ stutibhiḥ puṣkalābhiḥ'—praise (stuvanti) You (tvām) with excellent (puṣkalābhiḥ) prayers (stutibhiḥ). Arjuna sees that all beings—gods, sages, perfected beings—respond to the cosmic form with reverence and praise. Some are fearful, some offer prayers, but all acknowledge the cosmic form's supremacy. This shows the cosmic form's effect on all creation.
