11.6 Wonders never seen before Krishna speaks
पश्यादित्यान्वसून्रुद्रानश्िवनौ मरुतस्तथा
बहून्यदृष्टपूर्वाणि पश्याऽश्चर्याणि भारत
paśhyādityān vasūn rudrān aśhvinau marutas tathā
bahūny adṛiṣhṭa-pūrvāṇi paśhyāśhcharyāṇi bhārata
Behold the sons of Aditi, the Vasus, the Rudras, the twin Ashvins and the winds. Behold many wonders never seen before.
Explanation
Wonders never seen before.
The sons of Aditi, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Ashvins, the winds — whole classes of gods named as things inside the form.
The scale is being established by enumeration before any image arrives, which is how chapter 10 worked too. Here the list is of what is contained rather than of what is best.
