Ô roi Yudhiṣṭhira ! Alors les devas s’approchèrent du Seigneur, conduits par Brahmā, Indra et Girīśa (Śiva), avec les grands ṛṣis, les habitants de Pitṛloka, les siddhas, les vidyādharas et les nāgas. Vinrent aussi les Manus et les maîtres de divers mondes ; les gandharvas et les apsarās, les cāraṇas, les yakṣas, les êtres de Kimpuruṣa-loka, les vetālas, les kinnaras, ainsi que les serviteurs personnels de Viṣṇu tels Sunanda et Kumuda. Tous s’avancèrent vers le Prabhu, rayonnant d’une splendeur ardente, et, chacun à son tour, mains jointes au-dessus de la tête, offrirent prosternations et louanges.
FAQs
Brahmā, Indra, Śiva, sages, Pitṛs, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, great serpents, Manus, various celestial beings, and Viṣṇu’s own attendants like Sunanda and Kumuda came and praised Him with folded hands.
Because the Lord’s manifestation was intensely effulgent and awe-inspiring; even His eternal attendants approached reverentially, offering worship and praise in proper devotional etiquette.
Approach the Divine with humility and reverence—offer sincere praise, keep a respectful posture, and recognize that true power is spiritual, inspiring devotion rather than pride.
