devāḥ

देवान्भावयतानेन ते देवा भावयन्तु वः

devān — celestial gods

Sustain the gods by this, and let the gods sustain you. Sustaining one another, you will reach the highest good.

इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः

devāḥ — the celestial gods

Nourished by sacrifice, the gods will give you what you need. But one who enjoys their gifts without offering anything back is a thief.

न मे विदुः सुरगणाः प्रभवं न महर्षयः

devānām — of the celestial gods

Neither the hosts of gods nor the great seers know my origin. I am the source of the gods and of the great seers, in every way.

सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव

devāḥ — the celestial gods

I hold all this that you say to me to be true, Krishna. Neither the gods nor the demons know your appearing.

वेदानां सामवेदोऽस्मि देवानामस्मि वासवः

devānām — of all the celestial gods

Among the Vedas I am the Sama; among the gods, Indra; among the senses, the mind; and in living beings I am consciousness.

सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम

devāḥ — the celestial gods

The form you have seen is very hard to see. Even the gods long constantly to see it.

न तदस्ति पृथिव्यां वा दिवि देवेषु वा पुनः

deveṣhu — amongst the celestial gods

There is no being on earth, nor among the gods in heaven, that is free from these three strands born of nature.
