11.22 All of them gaze in wonder Arjuna speaks

रुद्रादित्या वसवो ये च साध्या विश्वेऽश्िवनौ मरुतश्चोष्मपाश्च
गन्धर्वयक्षासुरसिद्धसङ्घा वीक्षन्ते त्वां विस्मिताश्चैव सर्वे

rudrādityā vasavo ye cha sādhyā
viśhve ’śhvinau marutaśh choṣhmapāśh cha
gandharva-yakṣhāsura-siddha-saṅghā
vīkṣhante tvāṁ vismitāśh chaiva sarve

The Rudras, the sons of Aditi, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the Vishvas, the Ashvins, the winds, the ancestors, the hosts of celestial singers, spirits and demons and the perfected — all gaze at you in wonder.

Explanation

All of them gaze in wonder.

Eleven classes of being listed — Rudras, Vasus, Sadhyas, Ashvins, ancestors, singers, spirits, demons, the perfected.

The list includes demons and the perfected in one breath. Whatever this vision is, it is not partisan — everything that exists is watching, on both sides.
