गगनात् पुष्पवर्ष च पश्येदं पतितं भुवि । सुर्िंदेवगन्धर्वा ये च देवपुर:सरा:
gaganāt puṣpavarṣaṃ ca paśyedaṃ patitaṃ bhuvi | surāś ca devagandharvā ye ca devapuraḥsarāḥ ||
ನೋಡಿ—ಆಕಾಶದಿಂದ ಪುಷ್ಪವೃಷ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಇದು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಿದ್ದಿದೆ. ದೇವರುಗಳು, ದಿವ್ಯ ಗಂಧರ್ವರು, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ದೇವರ ಮುಂಚೆ ಸಾಗುವ ದಿವ್ಯ ಪರಿಚಾರಕರು ಹಾಗೂ ಘೋಷಕರು—ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಕ್ಷಣವನ್ನು ಗೌರವಿಸಲು ಉಪಸ್ಥಿತರಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
