तुम्बुरुश्नित्रसेनश्व देवदूतश्न विश्रुतः । देवकन्या महाभागा दिव्याश्वाप्सरसां गणा:
tumburuś citrasenaś ca devadūtaś ca viśrutaḥ | devakanyā mahābhāgā divyāś cāpsarasāṃ gaṇāḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「トゥンブル（Tumburu）、チトラセーナ（Citraseṇa）、そして名高き天界の使者。大いなる幸運を具えた天女たち。さらに、光り輝くアプサラスの群れ—これらもまた、尊ぶべき者として憶念されるべきである。」

Educational Q&A
The verse participates in a protective invocation: remembering and honoring revered celestial beings is presented as spiritually efficacious, reinforcing dharmic humility and reliance on auspicious powers rather than ego or violence.
Bhīṣma is reciting a catalogue of divine and cosmic beings—here naming Gandharvas, a divine messenger, celestial maidens, and apsarases—as part of a broader enumeration meant to invoke protection and благоприятness (auspicious safeguarding).
