Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: That mountain-peak then shone in beauty because of those four mighty bowmen—just as heaven is adorned by the illustrious guardians of the worlds, the foremost among the gods. The verse underscores how true excellence and disciplined prowess can lend splendor to a place, when borne with dignity rather than arrogance.
