Arjuna said: O master of the senses, the world becomes joyful upon hearing Your name, and thus everyone becomes attached to You. Although the perfected beings offer You their respectful homage, the demons are afraid, and they flee here and there. All this is rightly done.

Even in his terror, Arjuna finds ground for praise. He sees the justice of it: the universe rejoices at the Divine name. The perfected beings bow in devotion. The demons flee in fear. Everything is as it should be — each being responding to the Divine according to its own nature. This is the cosmic order that Arjuna is being asked to serve.
