Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 130: Kuntī’s Instruction on Rājadharma and Daṇḍanīti
मरुतश्न सहेन्द्रेण विश्वेदवास्तथैव च । बभूवुश्चैव यक्षाश्न॒ गन्धर्वोरगराक्षसा:
marutaś ca sahendreṇa viśvedevās tathaiva ca | babhūvuś caiva yakṣāś ca gandharvoragarākṣasāḥ ||
इन्द्र सहित मरुद्गण और वैसे ही विश्वेदेव भी वहाँ प्रकट हुए। यक्ष, गन्धर्व, नाग और राक्षस भी उनके अंग-प्रत्यंगों में प्रादुर्भूत हो गए।

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that diverse divine and semi-divine powers—often seen as separate—are encompassed within a single supreme manifestation. Ethically, it suggests that human plans, rivalries, and even war preparations in the Udyoga context are subordinate to a larger dharmic-cosmic order.
A wondrous, overwhelming form is being described in which many classes of beings (Maruts with Indra, Viśvedevas, Yakṣas, Gandharvas, Nāgas, and Rākṣasas) appear as present within the figure’s limbs—signaling a revelation of vast, world-containing power.
