ययातिपतनम् — Yayāti’s Fall and the Offer of Dharma
Nārada’s Account
फिर हाथमें हार लिये बहिन माधवीको रथपर बिठाकर पूरु और यदु--ये दोनों भाई आश्रमपर गये ।।
nāgayakṣamanuṣyāṇāṃ gandharvamṛgapakṣiṇām | śailadrumavanaukānām āsīt tatra samāgamaḥ ||
Nārada sprach: Dort, bei jener Zusammenkunft (dem Svayaṃvara), entstand eine glückverheißende Versammlung—Nāgas, Yakṣas, Menschen, Gandharvas, Tiere, Vögel, ja selbst die Bewohner von Bergen, Bäumen und Wäldern kamen zusammen. Die Szene zeigt, wie ein gerechtes und gerühmtes Ritual Wesen vieler Ordnungen in harmonischer Zeugenschaft vereint.

Educational Q&A
A dharmic and publicly significant rite is portrayed as drawing a broad, harmonious witness—across human, semi-divine, and natural realms—suggesting that righteous order resonates beyond a single community.
Nārada describes the scene at that event: many kinds of beings—Nāgas, Yakṣas, humans, Gandharvas, animals, birds, and forest and mountain dwellers—assemble together, emphasizing the grandeur and auspiciousness of the occasion.
