śakraś ca agniś ca vāyuś ca yamo varuṇa eva ca | yakṣādhipaś ca bhagavāṁs tathā saptarṣayo ’malāḥ ||

Translation

Markandeya said: Indra, Agni, Vayu, Yama, and Varuna also arrived there; and likewise the divine lord of the Yakshas, Kubera, together with the stainless-minded Seven Sages. The scene underscores that when a matter is weighty and righteous, even the highest cosmic guardians and seers assemble as witnesses and participants.
