BG 11.22

रुद्रादित्या वसवो ये च साध्याः
विश्वेऽश्विनौ मरुतश्चोष्मपाश्च
गन्धर्वयक्षासुरसिद्धसङ्घा
वीक्षन्ते त्वां विस्मिताश्चैव सर्वे

rudrādityā vasavo ye ca sādhyāḥ
viśve'śvinau marutaścoṣmapāśca
gandharvayakṣāsurasiddhasaṅghā
vīkṣante tvāṃ vismitāścaiva sarve

TRANSLATION

The Rudras, the Adityas, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the Vishvas, the Ashvins, the Maruts and the manes, and the hosts of Gandharvas, Yakshas, Asuras, and Siddhas—all gaze upon You in amazement.

PURPORT

Ushmapa means manes, because the Shruti declares: ‘Verily the manes receive the hot portions of the offerings’ (Tai.Br., 1.3.10). All these, struck with amazement, behold You.
