On the Principle of Keśava: Cosmogony and Divine Epithets
पुष्पवर्षाणि दिव्यानि तत्र तेषां महात्मनाम् | ननृतुश्चाप्सर: संघास्तत्र तत्र समनन््ततः,वहाँ उन महात्माओंपर दिव्य फूलोंकी वर्षा होने लगी। झुंडकी झुंड अप्सराएँ सब ओर नृत्य करने लगीं
puṣpavarṣāṇi divyāni tatra teṣāṁ mahātmanām | nanṛtuś cāpsaraḥ saṅghās tatra tatra samanantataḥ ||
Bhishma said: “There, upon those great-souled ones, a shower of celestial flowers began to fall; and companies of Apsarases danced in every direction, all around.”

The verse conveys that true virtue and greatness (mahātmatva) attract recognition from the cosmic order: divine signs—flower-showers and celestial dances—symbolize honor for those established in dharma and merit.
Bhishma describes a wondrous scene in which celestial flowers rain down upon noble persons, while groups of Apsarases dance all around, marking a moment of heavenly celebration and auspicious approval.
