Kurukṣetra Campaign in Summary
गायतां पर्वतेन्द्रस्य दिवस्पृणिव नि:स्वन: । जैसे मुनिगणोंसे मेरुकी शोभा होती है, उसी प्रकार द्वारकावासियोंके समागमसे वह पर्वत अत्यन्त दर्शनीय हो गया था। भरतनन्दन! उस पर्वतराजके शिखरपर हर्षोन्मत्त होकर गाते हुए स्त्री-पुरुषोंका सुमधुर शब्द मानो स्वर्गलोकतक व्याप्त हो रहा था
gāyatāṃ parvatendrasya divaspṛṇiva niḥsvanaḥ |
ヴァイシャṃパーヤナは語った。あの山々の王の頂より、男女の甘美で歓喜に満ちた歌声が大いなる響きとなって立ちのぼり、まるで天界を満たすかのようであった。牟尼たちの集いによってメール山が飾られるように、ドヴァーラカーの民の集結によってその山はひときわ見事となり、その祝祭の喜びは天上界にまで広がるかに見えた。

The verse highlights how collective harmony and joyful, auspicious conduct can transform a place into something spiritually and aesthetically elevated—so powerful that it is likened to reaching heaven. It also uses the Meru-and-sages simile to suggest that noble company itself is an ornament.
A festive gathering has formed on the summit of a great mountain. Men and women, overcome with joy, sing so sweetly and loudly that their resonance seems to pervade the sky; the mountain’s beauty is intensified by the assembly of the people of Dvārakā, like Meru adorned by sages.
