tataḥ pitāmahaś caiva lokapālāś ca sarvaśaḥ bhagavāṁś ca mahādevaḥ sagaṇo ’bhyāyayau tadā
そのとき、祖父なるブラフマー（Brahmā）が、あらゆる世界の守護神たちとともに現れ、さらに福徳具えた大いなる神シヴァ（Śiva）も、従者の群（ガナ）を率いてその場に到来した。この光景は、事の次第が宇宙的かつ道義的に重大であり、至高の神々の権威すら注目せざるを得ぬものであることを示している。

Educational Q&A
When Brahmā, the Lokapālas, and Śiva appear together, the text signals that the situation concerns dharma and the maintenance of cosmic order; major moral turning points are witnessed and sanctioned by the highest divine powers.
Vaishampayana narrates that Brahmā (the Grandsire), all the world-guardians, and Śiva with his gaṇas approach and arrive at the location, forming a divine gathering around the ongoing event.
