Ó rei Yudhiṣṭhira! Então os semideuses aproximaram-se do Senhor, liderados por Brahmā, Indra e Girīśa (Śiva), juntamente com grandes ṛṣis, os habitantes de Pitṛloka, siddhas, vidyādharas e os nāgas. Vieram também os Manus e os chefes de diversos mundos; chegaram as apsarās e os gandharvas, os cāraṇas, os yakṣas, os seres de Kimpuruṣa-loka, os vetālas, os kinnaras e os servos pessoais de Viṣṇu, como Sunanda e Kumuda. Todos se acercaram do Prabhu, que resplandecia com intenso fulgor, e, um a um, com as mãos postas sobre a cabeça, ofereceram reverências e preces.
FAQs
Brahmā, Indra, Śiva, sages, Pitṛs, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, great serpents, Manus, various celestial beings, and Viṣṇu’s own attendants like Sunanda and Kumuda came and praised Him with folded hands.
Because the Lord’s manifestation was intensely effulgent and awe-inspiring; even His eternal attendants approached reverentially, offering worship and praise in proper devotional etiquette.
Approach the Divine with humility and reverence—offer sincere praise, keep a respectful posture, and recognize that true power is spiritual, inspiring devotion rather than pride.
