Explanation

Arjuna lists more classes of beings, now gazing at the form in amazement. Many are Vedic deities already met: the Rudras, Adityas, Vasus, Ashvins and Maruts. He adds the Sadhyas and Vishvedevas, further groups of gods, and the ūṣmapas, a name for the ancestors, said to partake of warm offerings. Then come gandharvas, yakshas, asuras and siddhas, beings of every rank, including the gods' opponents. The point of the long list is completeness. No order of existence, divine, semi-divine or demonic, stands outside this vision, and all respond to it with the same astonishment.
