Hosts of gods enter into you; some in fear praise you with folded hands. Crying 'blessing!' the companies of great seers and perfected ones celebrate you with rich hymns.

Original plain-language translation

Even the gods are devotees here — some rush in, some shrink back, some sing. The detail of frightened gods praising with folded hands underlines that no rank of being stands outside or above this vision.
