11.6
पश्यादित्यान्वसून्रुद्रानश्विनौ मरुतस्तथा ।
बहून्यदृष्टपूर्वाणि पश्याश्चर्याणि भारत ॥
paśyādityān vasūn rudrān aśvinau marutas tathā
bahūny adṛṣṭapūrvāṇi paśyāścaryāṇi bhārata
Kṛṣṇa (कृष्ण) is still speaking, to Arjuna (अर्जुन).
The verse
See the Ādityas (आदित्य), the Vasus (वसु), the Rudras (रुद्र), the two Aśvins (अश्विन्), and the Maruts (मरुत्); see many wonders never seen before, descendant of Bharata (भरत).
नेपालीमा
आदित्य, वसु, रुद्र, दुई अश्विन् र मरुत् हेर। हे भरतका सन्तान, पहिले कहिल्यै नदेखिएका धेरै आश्चर्य हेर।
Where it sits
The forms get names. They are the gods, and they are wonders. "Never seen before" prepares the next verse: the place he will see them is one body.

Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| देवनागरी | Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|---|
| पश्य | paśya | imperative, 2nd singular | see. |
| आदित्यान् | ādityān | accusative plural | the Āditya (आदित्य) gods. |
| वसून् | vasūn | accusative plural | the Vasu (वसु) gods. |
| रुद्रान् | rudrān | accusative plural | the Rudra (रुद्र) gods. |
| अश्विनौ | aśvinau | accusative dual | the two Aśvin (अश्विन्) gods. |
| मरुतः | marutaḥ | accusative plural | the Marut (मरुत्) winds. |
| तथा | tathā | indeclinable | and. So also. |
| बहूनि | bahūni | accusative plural neuter | many. |
| अदृष्ट-पूर्वाणि | adṛṣṭa-pūrvāṇi | accusative plural neuter | not seen before. adṛṣṭa (अदृष्ट) is unseen. pūrva (पूर्व) is "previously." |
| पश्य | paśya | imperative, 2nd singular | see. The second command. |
| आश्चर्याणि | āścaryāṇi | accusative plural | wonders. |

The phrases
पश्य आदित्यान् वसून् रुद्रान् अश्विनौ मरुतः तथा paśya ādityān vasūn rudrān aśvinau marutaḥ tathā is a list of gods, all accusative, all under the one imperative. The dual aśvinau (अश्विनौ) is the pair. The others are plural.
bahūni adṛṣṭa-pūrvāṇi paśya āścaryāṇi (बहूनि अदृष्ट-पूर्वाणि पश्य आश्चर्याणि) is the second paśya (पश्य). See many wonders that have not been seen before. The neuter plural is the wonders, not the gods of the first line.
Sanskrit in this line
बहूनि + अदृष्ट bahūni + adṛṣṭa is recited bahūny adṛṣṭa (बहून्यदृष्ट). i (इ) before a different vowel becomes y (य्). The y (य्) stays with the first word. मरुतः + तथा marutaḥ + tathā is marutas tathā (मरुतस्तथा): aḥ (अः) before voiceless t (त्) becomes s (स्).
Say it back
The list, and the dual. If aśvinau (अश्विनौ) comes out plural, the two have been lost in the crowd.
