Mātali’s Arrival and Arjuna’s Ascent toward Amarāvatī (मातलिसंयुक्तरथागमनम् तथा इन्द्रलोकगमनारम्भः)
ततो देवा: सगन्धर्वा: सिद्धाश्न परमर्षय: | हृष्टा: सम्पूजयामासु: पार्थमक्लिष्टकारिणम्,तदनन्तर देवताओं, गन्धर्वों, सिद्धों और महर्षियोंने अत्यन्त प्रसन्न होकर अनायास ही महान् कर्म करनेवाले कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुनका स्वागत-सत्कार किया
tato devāḥ sagandharvāḥ siddhāś ca paramarṣayaḥ | hṛṣṭāḥ sampūjayāmāsuḥ pārtham akliṣṭakāriṇam ||
Then the gods—together with the Gandharvas, the Siddhas, and the supreme seers—delighted at heart, honored and welcomed Pārtha (Arjuna), the doer of great deeds who accomplishes his aims without strain.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
When a hero’s conduct and achievement align with dharma, honor arises naturally—so much so that even higher beings acknowledge and celebrate such merit.
After Arjuna’s notable accomplishment in the surrounding episode, the gods, Gandharvas, Siddhas, and great seers become pleased and formally honor him, welcoming him as an exceptional, unwearied doer of great deeds.
