The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Arjuna continues praising Krishna, recognizing him as all the gods and elements. 'Vāyur yamo 'gnir varuṇaḥ śaśāṅkaḥ'—wind (vāyuḥ), Yama (yamaḥ), fire (agniḥ), Varuna (varuṇaḥ), moon (śaśāṅkaḥ). 'Prajāpatis tvaṁ prapitāmahaś ca'—Prajapati (prajāpatiḥ), You (tvam), and (ca) the great-grandfather (prapitāmahaḥ). 'Namo namas te 'stu sahasra-kṛtvaḥ'—salutations (namas), salutations (namas) to You (te), let there be (astu), a thousand times (sahasra-kṛtvaḥ). 'Punaś ca bhūyo 'pi namo namas te'—again (punaḥ), and (ca), further (bhūyaḥ), also (api), salutations (namas), salutations (namas) to You (te). Arjuna recognizes that Krishna is all the gods and elements—wind, Yama, fire, Varuna, moon, Prajapati, and the great-grandfather. He offers salutations repeatedly, showing his deep reverence and recognition. This verse shows Arjuna's complete recognition of Krishna's all-encompassing nature.
