मरुतां च गणास्तत्र देवयानैरुपागमन् | महेन्द्रानुच॒रा ये च ये च सझनिवासिन:,देवताओंके अनेक गण भी दिव्य विमानोंपर बैठकर वहाँ आये थे। जो महेन्द्रके सेवक थे और जो इन्द्रभवनमें ही निवास करते थे, वे भी वहाँ पधारे

Arjuna describes a grand celestial gathering: hosts of the Maruts arrive in divine vehicles, along with Indra’s attendants and residents of Indra’s heavenly abode, converging at the scene being narrated.
