Kapila’s Advent: Brahmā’s Confirmation, the Marriage of the Nine Daughters, and Kardama’s Renunciation
अवादयंस्तदा व्योम्नि वादित्राणि घनाघना: । गायन्ति तं स्म गन्धर्वा नृत्यन्त्यप्सरसो मुदा ॥ ७ ॥
avādayaṁs tadā vyomni vāditrāṇi ghanāghanāḥ gāyanti taṁ sma gandharvā nṛtyanty apsaraso mudā
At the time of His descent, the demigods—like rain-bearing clouds—sounded instruments in the sky; the Gandharvas sang the Lord’s glories, and the Apsarās danced in joyful rapture.
This verse shows that when the Lord is glorified or manifests His presence, celestial beings naturally celebrate—Gandharvas by singing and Apsarās by dancing—indicating universal reverence for Bhagavān.
The verse refers to the Supreme Lord being honored; in this chapter’s context, it is connected with Lord Kapila’s divine presence and the auspicious celebration surrounding Him.
By cultivating joyful glorification—kīrtana, music, and heartfelt praise of the Lord—turning devotion into a living celebration rather than a mere ritual.
