प्रववुश्चोत्तमा वाता ननृतुश्चाप्सरोगणाः।जगुश्च देवगन्धर्वा वीणाः प्रमुमुचुस्स्वरान्।।।।
pravavuś cottamā vātā nanṛtuś cāpsarogaṇāḥ | jaguś ca devagandharvā vīṇāḥ pramumucuḥ svarān ||
Excellent breezes blew; companies of Apsarases danced; divine Gandharvas sang; and vīṇās released their resonant notes.
Gentle breeze began to blow. Troops of apsaras danced. Gandharvas and gods sang and the lyres rang.
Honoring worthy guests is a sacred act: dharmic hospitality is depicted as so significant that it becomes a celebration involving divine arts—music, dance, and auspiciousness.
The invoked celestial performers arrive and begin their arts, transforming the hermitage setting into a divine welcome for Bharata’s visit.
Respectful service (sevā-bhāva): the scene underscores service rendered joyfully and beautifully in the course of righteous duty.
