Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the limits of ordinary language before the divine: true spiritual or celestial splendor is said to be anirdeśya (indescribable). It also implies that exalted spaces are characterized by the presence of the virtuous—here, devarṣis—suggesting that sanctity is known by the company it attracts.

Nārada is describing a heavenly scene: a divine assembly hall where Apsarases perform dance, and groups of devarṣis attend. The emphasis is on the hall’s extraordinary beauty and wondrous, otherworldly appearance.
