यमसभावर्णनम् (Yamasabhā-varṇanam) — Nārada’s Description of Dharmarāja’s Assembly
पुण्याश्न गन्धा: शब्दाश्न॒ तस्यां पार्थ समन्ततः । दिव्यानि चैव माल्यानि उपतिष्ठन्ति नित्यश:,कुन्तीकुमार! उस सभामें सदा सब ओर पवित्र गन्ध, मधुर शब्द और दिव्य मालाओंके सुखद स्पर्श प्राप्त होते रहते हैं
puṇyāś ca gandhāḥ śabdāś ca tasyāṃ pārtha samantataḥ | divyāni caiva mālyāni upatiṣṭhanti nityaśaḥ ||
قال نارادا: «يا بارثا، في أرجاء تلك القاعة من كل جانب تفوح على الدوام روائح طاهرة، وتنساب أصوات عذبة مباركة؛ كما أن الأكاليل الإلهية تكون حاضرةً على الدوام.»
