दृष्टः किं नो दृग्भिरसद्ग्रहैस्त्वं
प्रत्यग्द्रष्टा दृश्यते येन विश्वम् ।
माया ह्येषा भवदीया हि भूमन्
यस्त्वं षष्ठः पञ्चभिर्भासि भूतैः ॥३७॥

loka-pÄlÄḥ - the governors of the different planets; Å«cuḥ - said; dṛṣá¹aḥ - seen; kim - whether; naḥ - by us; dá¹›gbhiḥ - by the material senses; asat-grahaiḥ - revealing the cosmic manifestation; tvam - You; pratyak-draá¹£á¹Ä - inner witness; dṛśyate - is seen; yena - by whom; viÅ›vam - the universe; mÄyÄ - material world; hi - because; eá¹£Ä - this; bhavadÄ«yÄ - Your; hi - certainly; bhÅ«man - O possessor of the universe; yaḥ - because; tvam - You; á¹£aá¹£á¹haḥ - the sixth; pañcabhiḥ - with the five; bhÄsi - appear; bhÅ«taiḥ - with the elements.
The governors of various planets spoke as follows: Dear Lord, we believe only in our direct perception, and therefore we see You as a creation of the material world. But under the circumstances we do not know whether we have actually seen You with our material senses. By our material senses we can simply perceive the cosmic manifestation, but You are beyond the five elements. You are the sixth.
The governors of the various planets are certainly materially opulent and very puffed up. Such persons are unable to understand the transcendental, eternal form of the Lord. In the Brahma-saá¹hitÄ it is stated that only persons who have anointed their eyes with love of Godhead can see the Personality of Godhead in every step of their activities. Also, in the prayers of KuntÄ« (BhÄg. 1.8.26) it is stated that only those who are akiñcana-gocaram, who are not materially puffed up, can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead; others are bewildered and cannot even think of the Absolute Truth.
