Kurukṣetra Campaign in Summary
तदा च कृष्णसांनिध्यमासाद्य भरतर्षभ,(स्तुवन्त्यन्तर्हिता देवा गन्धर्वाश्व सहर्षिभि: । भरतश्रेष्ठ] उस समय देवता, गन्धर्व और ऋषि अदृश्यरूपसे श्रीकृष्णके निकट आकर उनकी स्तुति करने लगे
tadā ca kṛṣṇa-sānnidhyam āsādya bharatarṣabha | stuvanty antarhitā devā gandharvāś ca saharṣibhiḥ ||
Entonces, oh toro entre los Bharatas, al llegar a la misma presencia de Kṛṣṇa, los dioses—permaneciendo invisibles—junto con los Gandharvas y los Ṛṣis comenzaron a alabarle. La escena subraya que la verdadera grandeza no se reconoce sólo por el aplauso humano, sino también por la reverencia de los seres superiores; y sitúa a Kṛṣṇa como centro moral y cósmico, cuya presencia atrae espontáneamente la devoción.

The verse highlights Kṛṣṇa’s supra-human stature: even unseen gods, Gandharvas, and sages are drawn to praise Him, suggesting that dharmic authority and moral centrality are validated by cosmic recognition, not only by worldly power.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that celestial beings—remaining invisible—approach Kṛṣṇa’s vicinity and begin to eulogize Him, marking a moment of divine acknowledgment within the Ashvamedhika Parva’s unfolding events.
