Chapter 11
Link:- In the next two verses, Arjuna describes the scene of heaven, which he beheld in the Lord's, cosmic form.
ante hi tvam surasangha visanti kecidbhttah prafijalayo grtyanti
svastityuktva maharsisiddhasanghah stuvanti tvam stutibhih puskalabhih
Those multitudes of gods merge in You; some in awe with folded hands are chanting Your names and glories; bands of great sages and Siddhas (emancipated souls) cry "Hail Highest Majesty", and shower praises on You with excellent hymns. 21
Comment:-
Ami hi tvam surasangha visanti:- When Arjuna went to heaven, he became familiar with the gods there. So Arjuna says, that these gods were entering the Lord's frightening form. All of the gods, are born of Him, remain established in Him, and again merge, in Him.
Kecidbhitah pranjalayo grnanti:- Hosts of gods, were entering the Lord's terrible form. The remaining gods, were much afraid of meeting the same fate. With joined palms, therefore, they began to utter the Lord's names, glories and praises.
Though the gods, being afraid of death, viewing the man-lion locomotion (which was within the cosmic form), were singing praises of the Lord. But to Arjuna, it seemed that these gods being terrified of the cosmic form, were resorting to praising the Lord, in His cosmic form.
Svastityuktva maharsisiddhasanghab stuvanti tvam stutibhih puskalabhih:- The group of seven principal sages, the sages living in the abode of gods and other great sages, such as Sanaka and Sanandana etc., as well as the gods, were extolling the Lord by means of sublime hymns.
