Explanation

Krishna names groups of deities that Arjuna would know from the Vedic tradition: the Adityas, solar gods; the Vasus, elemental gods; the Rudras, fierce storm powers; the Ashvins, twin healers; and the Maruts, the storm winds. Several of these appeared in the list of glories in the previous chapter. What Arjuna had heard named, he is now invited to see, all gathered in one place. Krishna adds that there are many marvels never seen before. The familiar gods are only the beginning of what the vision holds.
