Gandhamādana-praveśa and the Sudden Storm (गन्धमादनप्रवेशः — चण्डवातवर्षवर्णनम्)
एषा वैहायसैर्नित्यं बालखिल्यैर्महात्मभि: । अर्चिता चोपयाता च गन्धर्वैश्न महात्मभि:,आकाशचारी महात्मा बालखिल्य तथा महामना गन्धर्वगण भी नित्य इसके तटपर आते-जाते हैं और इसकी पूजा करते हैं
eṣā vaihāyasair nityaṃ bālakhilyair mahātmabhiḥ | arcitā copayātā ca gandharvaiś ca mahātmabhiḥ ||
«وهذا الموضع المقدّس يُجَلّ على الدوام من قِبَل حكماء بالاخيليا (Bālakhilya) العظام الذين يسيرون في الفضاء؛ كما يزوره ويعبده على نحوٍ منتظم الغندرفا (Gandharva) النبلاء. وهكذا فإن ذوي السيرة الطاهرة—زُهّادًا كانوا أم موسيقيّي السماء—لا ينفكّون يأتون إلى هنا، مكرّمينه كمقامٍ للقداسة.»

Educational Q&A
Holiness is recognized by the conduct of the virtuous: when great ascetics and refined celestial beings repeatedly honor a place, it signals its sanctity. The verse underscores reverence (arcana) and the ethical idea that purity and devotion naturally gravitate toward sacred spaces.
The speaker is describing a revered sacred spot (likely a tīrtha or holy region) and emphasizing its extraordinary status by noting that the Bālakhilya sages and the Gandharvas—beings capable of moving through the sky—regularly come there and worship it.
