Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya: Visnuswami |
Sridhara Swami's Commentary
Naming the various demigods which are Lord Krishna's vibhuti or divine
transcendental opulences are stated to imply that He is the sum total of
all the demigods as He is even the progentitor of the grandsire Brahma
responsible for visargah or secondary creation. At this time due to
feelings of excessive devotion, reverence and anxiety Arjuna offers his own
obeisances sahasra-krtvah meaning 1000's and 1000's of times and not being
satisfied offers humble prostrations many, many times upon the ground
before Lord Krishna.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya: Madhvacarya |
Madhvacarya's Commentary
Here it is inferred that Lord Krishna is the composite total of all the
demigods beginning with Vayu the demigod in charge of the wind due to the
fact that they all are parts of His vibhuti or divine transcendental
opulence. Va symbolises strength and aya symbolises wisdom which in their
unlimited forms are qualities of the Supreme Lord. Since He is fully
complete and resplendent within Himself various demigods are mentioned
such agni or fire and varunah or ocean which represent His vibhuti or
divine transcenndental opulence. Thus they manifest in unlimited ways.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya: Ramanuja |
Ramanuja's Commentary
Lord Krishna is origin of Vishnu who is the origin of Brahma who is the
origin of the Prajapatis who are the physical patriarchs of all creatures.
All the demigods and any other kind of god find their source in Him as
well. He is known as Hiranyagarbha the indwelling soul of all living
entities. Comprehending the reality of all these things as part of the
magnificently majestic pageant of the Supreme Lord, Arjuna with joy elated
heart and eyes brimming with tears prostrated himself unto Lord Krishna
again and again from every side with trepidation.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya: Nimbaditya |
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary
In exaltation Arjuna is exuberating on the manifest potencies of the
Supreme Lord Krishna exclaiming He is the wind god, the fire god, the water
god, etc. and Brahma as well as being the grandsire of all. Obeisance
thousands of times Arjuna is offering Him again and again.
