Verse 22

The Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form

All the various manifestations of Lord Shiva, the Adityas, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the Visvadevas, the two Ashvins, the Maruts, the forefathers, the Gandharvas, the Yakshas, the Asuras, and the perfected demigods are beholding You in amazement.

Context & Meaning

A complete roll-call of the divine hierarchy — Rudras, Adityas, Vasus, Sadhyas, the Ashvin twins, the Maruts, ancestors, Gandharvas, Yakshas, Asuras, and the Siddhas — and every single one of them is staring in amazement. The entire spectrum of cosmic beings, from the highest to the most fierce, is struck with wonder. None of them has seen this before.
