My dear King Yudhiṣṭhira, the demigods then approached the Lord. They were headed by Lord Brahmā, King Indra and Lord Śiva and included great saintly persons and the residents of Pitṛloka, Siddhaloka, Vidyādhara-loka and the planet of the snakes. The Manus approached, and so did the chiefs of various other planets. The angelic dancers approached, as did the Gandharvas, the Cāraṇas, the Yakṣas, the inhabitants of Kinnaraloka, the Vetālas, the inhabitants of Kimpuruṣa-loka, and the personal servants of Viṣṇu like Sunanda and Kumuda. All of them came near the Lord, who glowed with intense light. They individually offered their obeisances and prayers, their hands folded at their heads.

Brahmā, Indra, Śiva, sages, Pitṛs, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, great serpents, Manus, various celestial beings, and Viṣṇu’s own attendants like Sunanda and Kumuda came and praised Him with folded hands.
Because the Lord’s manifestation was intensely effulgent and awe-inspiring; even His eternal attendants approached reverentially, offering worship and praise in proper devotional etiquette.
Approach the Divine with humility and reverence—offer sincere praise, keep a respectful posture, and recognize that true power is spiritual, inspiring devotion rather than pride.
