Sañjaya said: “O King, resounding cries arose in the sky. Deities, Dānavas, Gandharvas, Nāgas, Yakṣas, birds, Veda-knowing great seers, the Pitṛs who partake of the svadhā-offerings, austerity and sacred knowledge themselves, and many kinds of potent herbs endowed with diverse forms and powers—all of them stood in the mid-air, raising a great tumult. Brahmā too was there, accompanied by Brahmarṣis and the Prajāpatis.”
