Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Acompañado por los augustos Nāgas, por los ríos y sus deidades tutelares, por los Daityas y por los Sādhyas entre los dioses, Varuṇa—señor de los seres acuáticos y dueño de sí—llegó a aquel lugar, engalanándolo con su auspiciosa venida.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights auspicious leadership grounded in self-mastery: Varuṇa is described as vaśī (self-controlled), suggesting that true sovereignty—over realms like the waters and their beings—rests on inner discipline and alignment with cosmic order.
A grand divine entourage arrives: Varuṇa, lord of aquatic creatures, comes to the specified place accompanied by Nāgas, rivers and their deities, Daityas, and Sādhyas, thereby beautifying and sanctifying the location through his presence.
