पश्य मे पार्थ, रूपाणि शतशः अथ सहस्रशः, अनेकशः इत्यर्थः । तानि च नानाविधानि अनेकप्रकाराणि दिवि भवानि दिव्यानि अप्राकृतानि नानावर्णाकृतीनि च नाना विलक्षणाः नीलपीतादिप्रकाराः वर्णाः तथा आकृतयश्च अवयवसंस्थानविशेषाः येषां रूपाणां तानि नानावर्णाकृतीनि च ॥ ५ ॥
In plain words

These are the forms, every color, every shape, that I now show you.
