Vaiśampāyana sprach: In Begleitung erhabener Nāgas, der Flüsse und ihrer Schutzgottheiten, der Daityas und der Sādhyas unter den Göttern kam Varuṇa—Herr der Wasserwesen und in sich gezügelt—an jenen Ort und schmückte ihn durch sein glückverheißendes Erscheinen.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights auspicious leadership grounded in self-mastery: Varuṇa is described as vaśī (self-controlled), suggesting that true sovereignty—over realms like the waters and their beings—rests on inner discipline and alignment with cosmic order.
A grand divine entourage arrives: Varuṇa, lord of aquatic creatures, comes to the specified place accompanied by Nāgas, rivers and their deities, Daityas, and Sādhyas, thereby beautifying and sanctifying the location through his presence.
