Gandharva Encounter

संहतानि च तूर्याणि प्रावाद्यन्त हुनेकश: । फिर तो उस समय हाथोंमें अस्त्र-शस्त्र उठाये सम्पूर्ण देवता हर्षमें भरकर कोलाहल करने लगे और अनेक प्रकारके विजय-वाद्य एक साथ बज उठे

saṁhatāni ca tūryāṇi prāvādyanta hunekaśaḥ |

ಆಗ ಅನೇಕ ವಿಧದ ತೂರ್ಯಗಳು ಒಂದೇ ವೇಳೆ ಮೊಳಗಿದವು. ಆ ಕ್ಷಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸ್ತ್ರ-ಶಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿಕೊಂಡ ಸಮಸ್ತ ದೇವತೆಗಳು ಹರ್ಷದಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿ ಕೋಲಾಹಲ ಮಾಡಿದರು; ನಾನಾವಿಧ ವಿಜಯವಾದ್ಯಗಳ ಧ್ವನಿಯೂ ಒಂದಾಗಿ ಏಳಿತು.

Educational Q&A

When righteous forces act in unity, their shared purpose becomes visible through coordinated, auspicious signs—here, the collective sounding of instruments symbolizes concord, confidence, and the moral momentum of a just cause.

Mārkaṇḍeya describes a moment of heightened celebration and readiness: the instruments of triumph are played all at once, indicating that the assembled divine forces are rejoicing and preparing for decisive action.
