Arjuna’s Arrival and Reunion on the Sacred Mountain
Devanagari script
ततः शैलोत्तमस्याग्रात् पाण्डवान् प्रति मारुत: । अवहत् सर्वमाल्यानि गन्धवन्ति शुभानि च,तत्पश्चात् उस उत्तम पर्वतके शिखरसे पाण्डवोंकी ओर हवाका एक झोंका आया, जिसने वहाँ सब प्रकारके सुगन्धित पुष्पोंकी बनी हुई बहुत-सी सुन्दर मालाएँ लाकर बिखेर दीं
Transliteration
tataḥ śailottamasyāgrāt pāṇḍavān prati mārutaḥ | avahat sarvamālyāni gandhavanti śubhāni ca ||
Translation
Then, from the summit of that excellent mountain, a gust of wind blew toward the Pāṇḍavas, carrying and scattering many auspicious, fragrant garlands. The scene suggests a benign, almost reverential response of nature to the righteous travelers, marking the moment with beauty and favorable omens rather than threat.
