Viṣṇor Māhātmya and Indriya-saṃyama (विष्णोर्माहात्म्यं तथा इन्द्रियसंयमः)
पश्य हूप्सरसो दिव्य मया दत्तेन चक्षुषा । विमानानि विचित्राणि गन्धर्वाणां महात्मनाम्
paśya hy apsaraso divyā mayā dattena cakṣuṣā | vimānāni vicitrāṇi gandharvāṇāṁ mahātmanām ||
قال نارادا: «انظر إلى هؤلاء الأبساراس الإلهيات بالبصيرة السماوية التي منحتُك إياها. وانظر أيضًا إلى الفيمانات العجيبة—مراكب الجو—للغندهرفا ذوي النفوس العظيمة، وهي تتلألأ في السماء».
नारद उवाच
The verse highlights that higher realities are not grasped by ordinary perception; they require a refined or divinely granted vision. Ethically, it suggests humility about the limits of one’s senses and openness to guidance from a realized teacher.
Nārada addresses his listener and, having granted divine sight, directs them to look upward and witness celestial beings—Apsarases and the splendid vimānas of the Gandharvas—revealing a supramundane scene otherwise invisible.
