Verse 15
The Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form
Arjuna said: My dear Lord Krishna, I see assembled in Your body all the demigods and various other living entities. I see Brahma sitting on the lotus flower, as well as Lord Shiva and all the sages and divine serpents.
Context & Meaning
Arjuna begins to describe what he sees: Brahma on his lotus, Shiva, all the sages, all the divine serpents — the entire hierarchy of cosmic existence visible within one form. He is not reciting theology; he is reporting direct perception. The student who was once confused about his duty now sees the totality of existence arranged before him.
