Gita reflection Ch 11 verses 22 & 23

Arjuna observed that even the inhabitants of heaven rarely get to see the cosmic form of the Lord, even though they receive their powers from Him. 

The eleven Rudras, twelve Adityas, eight Vasus, Sadhyas, Vishwadevas, twin Ashvinis, seven Maruts, Ushmapas, Gandharvas, Yakshas, demons, and Siddhas were all amazed when they beheld the cosmic form.

Just like how we get scared watching fierce wild animals even behind a cage, imagine being surrounded by thousands of them!

Arjuna was frightened when he saw the immense cosmic form, with many mouths, eyes, arms, thighs, bellies, and feet, along with frightening protruding teeth.
