Devanagari script
तदा च कृष्णसांनिध्यमासाद्य भरतर्षभ,(स्तुवन्त्यन्तर्हिता देवा गन्धर्वाश्व सहर्षिभि: । भरतश्रेष्ठ] उस समय देवता, गन्धर्व और ऋषि अदृश्यरूपसे श्रीकृष्णके निकट आकर उनकी स्तुति करने लगे
Transliteration
tadā ca kṛṣṇa-sānnidhyam āsādya bharatarṣabha | stuvanty antarhitā devā gandharvāś ca saharṣibhiḥ ||
Translation
Then, O bull among the Bharatas, having come into the very presence of Kṛṣṇa, the gods—remaining unseen—together with the Gandharvas and the Ṛṣis began to praise Him. The scene underscores that true greatness is recognized not merely by human acclaim but by the reverence of higher beings, and it frames Kṛṣṇa as a moral and cosmic center whose presence draws spontaneous devotion.
