Description of Kubera’s Assembly Hall
एते चान्ये च गन्धर्वा धनेश्वरमुपासते | इनके सिवा और भी विविध वस्त्राभूषणोंसे विभूषित और प्रसन्नचित्त सैकड़ों गन्धर्वपति विश्वावसु
ete cānye ca gandharvā dhaneśvaram upāsate |
Narada berkata—mereka ini, dan banyak Gandharwa lainnya, berhias aneka busana dan perhiasan dengan hati berseri—Viśvāvāsu, Hāhā, Hūhū, Tumburu, Parvata, Śailūṣa, sang ahli musik Citraseṇa, serta Citraratha—semuanya berbakti dan menghormat kepada Dhaneśvara Kubera, penguasa harta.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even powerful celestial beings practice reverence toward rightful divine authority; wealth and status are framed as domains governed by order, to be approached with humility and devotion rather than pride.
Nārada is describing the retinue of Kubera: numerous Gandharva lords—named and unnamed—who serve and honor Dhaneśvara, highlighting Kubera’s eminence and the structured hierarchy among divine beings.
