ब्रह्मराजर्षयश्वैव सर्वे देवर्षयस्तथा,ब्रह्मर्षि, राजर्षि तथा सम्पूर्ण देवर्षि माला पहने एवं वस्त्राभूषणोंसे विभूषित हो, नाना प्रकारके दिव्य विमानोंद्वारा अग्निके समान देदीप्यमान होते हुए वहाँ आते-जाते रहते हैं

Narada berkata: “Di sana, para Brahmarṣi dan Rājarṣi, demikian pula seluruh Devarṣi, mengenakan rangkaian bunga lengkap yang layak bagi para resi, berhias busana dan perhiasan yang bercahaya; mereka terus datang dan pergi dengan berbagai vimāna surgawi, menyala gemilang laksana api.”
