देवर्षिगन्धर्वसमाकुलं तत् सुपर्णनागासुरसिद्धजुष्टम् । दिव्येन गन्धेन समाकुलं च दिव्यैश्व पुष्पैरवकीर्यमाणम्,राजन्! उस समय वहाँका आकाश देवर्षियों तथा गन्धर्वोंसे खचाखच भरा था। सुपर्ण, नाग, असुर और सिद्धोंका समुदाय वहाँ जुट गया था। सब ओर दिव्य सुगन्ध व्याप्त हो रही थी और दिव्य पुष्पोंकी वर्षा की जा रही थी

Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “O Hari, nang panahong iyon ang langit doon ay siksik na napuno ng mga banal na rishi ng langit at mga Gandharva. Nagtipon din ang mga pangkat ng Suparṇa, Nāga, Asura, at Siddha. Lumaganap sa lahat ng dako ang samyo ng kalangitan, at bumuhos ang mga banal na bulaklak.”
