Simple

arjuna uvāca
paśyāmi devāṁs tava deva dehe
sarvāṁs tathā bhūta-viśeṣa-saṅghān
brahmāṇam īśaṁ kamalāsana-stham
ṛṣīṁś ca sarvān uragāṁś ca divyān

‘I see, Lord! all the Gods in Thy Frame, and likewise all the diverse hosts of beings; Brahmā, and Īśa who is seated in Brahmā; all the Rishis and all the shining races of serpents.’

O Deva! In Thy Body, I do see all the gods; and similarly the several classes of creatures; similarly Brahmā, the four-faced ruler of the mundane egg (Brahmāṇḍa) similarly Īśa or Śiva who is seated in Kamalāsana[1. Vishṇu’s navel is the lotus. Brahmā is born there. Hence he is
called Kamalāsana or lotus-seated, vide Nāmaliṇgānuśāsana I-17. Śiva is born from Brahmā. So he is said to be Kamalāsanastha or he who is seated in Kamalāsana. vide Śruti, ‘Brahmaṇah putrāya jyesṭhāya śreshṭhāya‘, = the noble eldest son of Brahmā.], (lotus-seated) or Brahmā, meaning that Śiva is under the control of (his father) Brahmā; similarly all the Devarshis and other Rishis, and all the shining races of serpents, Vāsuki, Takshaka etc.
