देवानां च ऋषीणां च गन्धर्वाणां च सर्वशः पिशाचानां सयक्षाणां तथैव च सुरद्धिषाम्
devānāṁ ca ṛṣīṇāṁ ca gandharvāṇāṁ ca sarvaśaḥ | piśācānāṁ sa-yakṣāṇāṁ tathaiva ca surādhiṣām ||
അർജുനൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ദേവന്മാരുടെയും ഋഷിമാരുടെയും ഗന്ധർവന്മാരുടെയും നാനാവിധ രൂപങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു; യക്ഷന്മാരോടുകൂടിയ പിശാചന്മാരും, അതുപോലെ ദേവഗണങ്ങളുടെ അധിപന്മാരും (കണ്ടു).
