Bhagavad-णोंवे As  It ls
[Ch. 11]
PURPORT
Dyāv āpṛthivyoḥ  (the space between heaven and earth) and  lokatrayam  (three worlds) are significant words in this verse because it appears that not only Arjuna saw this universal form of the Lord, but others in other planetary systems also saw it. The vision was not a dream. All who were spiritually awake with the divine vision saw it.
TEXT 21
अमी हि त्वां सुरसङ्घा विशन्ति केचिद्भीताः प्राञ्जलयो गृणन्ति । स्वस्तीत्युक्त्वा महर्षिसिद्धसङ्घाः स्तुवन्ति त्वां स्तुतिभिः पुष्कलाभिः ॥२१॥
amī hi tvām sura-saṅghā viśanti kecid bhītāḥ prāñjalayo grṇanti svastīty uktvā maharṣi-siddha-saṅghāḥ stuvanti tvām stutibhiḥ puṣkalābhiḥ

TRANSLATION
All the demigods are surrendering and entering into You. They are very much afraid, and with folded hands they are singing the Vedic hymns.
PURPORT
The demigods in all the planetary systems feared the terrific manifestation of the universal form and its glowing effulgence and so prayed for protection.
