11.15 I see all the gods in you Arjuna speaks

पश्यामि देवांस्तव देव देहे सर्वांस्तथा भूतविशेषसङ्घान्
ब्रह्माणमीशं कमलासनस्थ मृषींश्च सर्वानुरगांश्च दिव्यान्

paśhyāmi devāns tava deva dehe
sarvāns tathā bhūta-viśheṣha-saṅghān
brahmāṇam īśhaṁ kamalāsana-stham
ṛiṣhīnśh cha sarvān uragānśh cha divyān

I see all the gods in your body, and all the kinds of beings; Brahma on his lotus seat, and all the seers and divine serpents.

Explanation

I see all the gods in your body.

Brahma on his lotus seat, the seers, the divine serpents. Arjuna begins to describe, and will not stop for sixteen verses.

Note that he starts with the orderly contents — gods in their proper places. The description degrades as it goes, which is the shape of the whole chapter.
