रुद्रादित्या वसवो ये च साध्याविश्वेऽश्िवनौ मरुतश्चोष्मपाश्च।गन्धर्वयक्षासुरसिद्धसङ्घावीक्षन्ते त्वां विस्मिताश्चैव सर्वे॥

rudrādityā vasavo ye ca sādhyāviśve'śिvanau marutaścoṣmapāśca |gandharvayakṣāsurasiddhasaṅghāvīkṣante tvāṃ vismitāścaiva sarve ||

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.
