Translator:
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.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: the various forms of gods and demons, and great sages, all gaze at Krishna in amazement, again underscoring the universal, shared nature of this awe across every category of being present.

In life: shared awe at something genuinely significant, a birth, a loss, a vast natural sight, tends to momentarily dissolve the usual social distinctions between very different kinds of people present in the same moment.

Teaching: notice, the next time you're in a room full of otherwise very different people sharing a moment of genuine collective awe, how much that shared feeling temporarily dissolves the usual social distance between you.
