वारुणी सभा — Varuṇa’s Divine Assembly
Nārada’s Description
स्तुवन्तो वरुणं तस्यां सर्व एव समासते । सभी गन्धर्व और अप्सराओंके समुदाय भी गीत गाते और बाजे बजाते हुए उस सभामें वरुणदेवताकी स्तुति एवं उपासना करते हैं
stuvanto varuṇaṁ tasyāṁ sarva eva samāsate |
Nārada dijo: «En aquel espléndido salón, todos los presentes se sentaron juntos, elevando alabanzas a Varuṇa. Los gandharvas y las huestes de apsaras, cantando y tañendo instrumentos, ofrecieron himnos de adoración: la devoción y el respeto se mostraban como la conducta debida en una asamblea divina.»
