Translation
Within Thy Form, O God, the Gods I see, all grades of beings with distinctive marks; Brahma, the Lord, upon His lotus-throne, the Rishis all, and Serpents, the Divine.

Explanation
Arjuna finally speaks, and the meter itself changes under him — from the anuṣṭubh couplets used everywhere so far to a longer triṣṭubh line, which the poem holds for most of the rest of the vision. It’s a formal signal as much as a stylistic one: ordinary description has run out, and what follows through verse 50 needs the extra room. The catalogue itself opens with Brahmā enthroned on the lotus — the creator god, here demoted to just one more inhabitant of Krishna’s body.
