Bṛhannadā/Arjuna
त॑ दृष्टवा परमप्रीतो गन्धर्वश्षित्रमद्भुतम् । शशंस देवराजाय चित्रसेन: प्रतापवान्
taṁ dṛṣṭvā paramaprīto gandharvaś citram adbhutam | śaśaṁsa devarājāya citrasenaḥ pratāpavān ||
Melihat pemandangan yang menakjubkan dan luar biasa itu, Gandharva Citrāsena dipenuhi kegembiraan yang besar. Yang perkasa itu kemudian melaporkannya kepada raja para dewa, Indra, sebagai sesuatu yang disaksikannya dan layak mendapat perhatian ilahi.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights discernment and responsibility in communication: when something truly extraordinary occurs, it is to be conveyed to the proper authority (here, Indra) with clarity and due weight, rather than being treated casually.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Gandharva Citrāsena, delighted after witnessing an astonishing event, goes on to inform Indra (the king of the gods) about it.
