Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 11, Verse 15

Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga

अर्जुन उवाच । पश्यामि देवांस्तव देव देहे सर्वांस्तथा भूतविशेषसङ्घान् । ब्रह्माणमीशं कमलासनस्थ मृषींश्च सर्वानुरगांश्च दिव्यान् ॥ १५ ॥

arjuna uvācha paśhyāmi devāns tava deva dehe sarvāns tathā bhūta-viśheṣha-saṅghān brahmāṇam īśhaṁ kamalāsana-stham ṛiṣhīnśh cha sarvān uragānśh cha divyān

Translation

Arjun said: O God, in Your body I see all the gods and hosts of every kind of being; Brahma the lord seated on his lotus, all the sages, and the celestial serpents.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

अर्जुन बोले: हे देव! मैं आपके शरीर में सब देवताओं को, नाना प्रकार के प्राणियों के समूहों को, कमल के आसन पर बैठे ब्रह्मा को, सभी ऋषियों और दिव्य सर्पों को देखता हूँ।

Commentary

From here on the verses switch to the longer eleven-syllable trishtubh metre, which suits an elevated hymn. Arjun begins by seeing the orderly, reassuring side of the vision: gods, sages and Brahma, the creator, himself seated within Krishna. Some translators read the word isham here as Shiva, beside Brahma.
