Translations
The Rudras, Adityas, Vasus, Sadhyas, Visvedevas, the two Asvins, Maruts, the Manus, and the hosts of celestial singers, Yakshas, demons, and the perfected ones, all look upon Thee with great amazement.
The vital forces, major stars, fire, earth, air, sky, sun, heaven, moon, and planets; the angels, guardians of the universe, divine healers, winds, fathers, heavenly singers, and hosts of mammon-worshippers, demons, and saints are all amazed.
Those who are the Rudras, the Adityas, the Vasus, and the Sadhyas, the Visvedevas, the two Asvins, the Maruts, and the Usmapas, and hosts of Gandharvas, Yaksas, demons, and Siddhas—all of those very ones gaze at You, being indeed struck with wonder.
जो ग्यारह रुद्र, बारह आदित्य, आठ वसु, बारह साध्यगण, दस विश्वेदेव और दो अश्विनीकुमार, उनचास मरुद्गण, सात पितृगण तथा गन्धर्व, यक्ष, असुर और सिद्धोंके समुदाय हैं, वे सभी चकित होकर आपको देख रहे हैं।Commentary
Sadhyas are a class of gods of whom Brahma is the chief. Visvedevas are ten gods who in Vedic times were considered as protectors of human beings. They were called guardians of the world. They were givers of plenty to the human beings. Their names are Krata? Daksha? Vasu? Satya? Kama? Kala? Dhvani? Rochaka? Adrava and Pururava. The two Asvins, born of Prabha (light), daughter of Tushta and the Sun, are the physicians of the gods. Rudras? Adityas? Vasus and Maruts -- see tenth chapter, verses 21 and 23.
