Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form

Bhagavad Gita 11.15

paśyāmi devāṃstava deva dehe sarvāṃstathā bhūtaviśeṣasaṅghān | brahmāṇamīśaṃ kamalāsanastha- mṛṣīṃśca sarvānuragāṃśca divyān ||

I see all the gods in your body, O God, and the hosts of every kind of being; Brahma the Lord seated on his lotus, all the seers, and the divine serpents.

Modern context

Arjuna now describes what he sees, in a rising rhythm of long lines. He sees all the gods, all beings, Brahma the creator on his lotus, all the sages and divine serpents, all inside one body. The verses that follow are among the most dramatic in Indian literature. They are not argument but testimony, the words of someone trying to report what overwhelms him.
