FAQs

The verse portrays Devakī in a divinely empowered, worshipful setting—honored by celestial beings—highlighting the extraordinary, sacred atmosphere surrounding Kṛṣṇa’s appearance and the protection of dharma.

They are celestial classes of beings—perfected beings (Siddhas), heavenly bards (Cāraṇas), musicians (Gandharvas), nymphs (Apsarās), other celestial beings (Kinnaras), and serpent beings (Nāgas)—who offer worship and praise during momentous divine events.

Offerings and sincere praise (stuti) are timeless expressions of bhakti—devotion becomes stronger when one consciously honors the divine presence with reverence, gratitude, and remembrance.
