Description of Kubera’s Assembly Hall
एते चान्ये च गन्धर्वा धनेश्वरमुपासते | इनके सिवा और भी विविध वस्त्राभूषणोंसे विभूषित और प्रसन्नचित्त सैकड़ों गन्धर्वपति विश्वावसु
ete cānye ca gandharvā dhaneśvaram upāsate |
Nārada said: “These Gandharvas—and many others besides—reverently attend upon Dhaneśvara (Kubera), the lord of wealth.”

Educational Q&A
Even powerful celestial beings practice reverence toward rightful divine authority; wealth and status are framed as domains governed by order, to be approached with humility and devotion rather than pride.
Nārada is describing the retinue of Kubera: numerous Gandharva lords—named and unnamed—who serve and honor Dhaneśvara, highlighting Kubera’s eminence and the structured hierarchy among divine beings.
