Duryodhana’s Envy at Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rājasūya and the Avabhṛtha Festival
नार्तक्यो ननृतुर्हृष्टा गायका यूथशो जगु: । वीणावेणुतलोन्नादस्तेषां स दिवमस्पृशत् ॥ १० ॥
nārtakyo nanṛtur hṛṣṭā gāyakā yūthaśo jaguḥ vīṇā-veṇu-talonnādas teṣāṁ sa divam aspṛśat
ورقصت الراقصاتُ فرِحاتٍ، وغنّى المنشدون جماعاتٍ. وبلغت اهتزازاتُ الفينا والناي والصنوج اليدوية من الشدة كأنها تمسّ أقاليم السماء.
This verse describes joyous dancers and singers whose instruments and rhythm create a sound so uplifting it seems to reach heaven—showing how celebratory, devotional sound naturally elevates the heart and atmosphere.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī narrates these events to Mahārāja Parīkṣit, describing the festive scene surrounding Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes.
Bring devotion into daily life through sincere kīrtana, bhajans, or mantra chanting—creating a joyful, sattvic environment that lifts the mind toward remembrance of the Divine.
