Translation

Bhīṣma said: “Then, endowed with supreme devotion, they worshipped—through mind, speech, and action.” At that time, a well-formed utterance, furnished with śikṣā (the discipline of correct recitation) and proper syllables, reached our ears. Just then, a pure and fragrant wind brought many divine flowers and useful healing herbs; with these, the devotees—knowers of the five appointed times of worship (pañcakāla) and steadfast in single-minded bhakti—reverently adored Śrī Hari with great devotion, by mind, word, and deed.
