तदा च कृष्णसांनिध्यमासाद्य भरतर्षभ,(स्तुवन्त्यन्तर्हिता देवा गन्धर्वाश्व सहर्षिभि: । भरतश्रेष्ठ] उस समय देवता, गन्धर्व और ऋषि अदृश्यरूपसे श्रीकृष्णके निकट आकर उनकी स्तुति करने लगे
tadā ca kṛṣṇa-sānnidhyam āsādya bharatarṣabha | stuvanty antarhitā devā gandharvāś ca saharṣibhiḥ ||
そのとき、バーラタ族の雄牛よ、クリシュナのまさに御前に至ると、神々は—姿を見せぬまま—ガンダルヴァとリシたちと共に、彼を讃え始めた。この場面は、真の偉大さが人の称賛のみによってではなく、高き存在の敬虔によっても認められることを示し、またクリシュナを道徳と宇宙の中心として描き、その臨在が自ずから信愛を呼び起こすことを語っている。

The verse highlights Kṛṣṇa’s supra-human stature: even unseen gods, Gandharvas, and sages are drawn to praise Him, suggesting that dharmic authority and moral centrality are validated by cosmic recognition, not only by worldly power.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that celestial beings—remaining invisible—approach Kṛṣṇa’s vicinity and begin to eulogize Him, marking a moment of divine acknowledgment within the Ashvamedhika Parva’s unfolding events.
