Ādi Parva, Adhyāya 186 — Drupada’s Summons and the Pāñcāla Reception
अथाययुर्देवगणा विमानै रुद्रादित्या वसवो<थाश्रिनौ च । साध्याश्चव सर्वे मरुतस्तथैव यम॑ पुरस्कृत्य धनेश्वरं च,इसी समय रुद्र, आदित्य, वसु, अश्विनीकुमार, समस्त साध्यगण तथा मरुद्गण यमराज और कुबेरको आगे करके अपने-अपने विमानोंपर बैठकर वहाँ आये
athāyayur devagaṇā vimānaiḥ rudrādityā vasavo ’thāśvinau ca | sādhyāś caiva sarve marutas tathaiva yamaṃ puraskṛtya dhaneśvaraṃ ca ||
Pagkaraan, dumating ang mga pangkat ng mga diyos sakay ng kanilang mga sasakyang makalangit—ang mga Rudra, Āditya, Vasu, at ang dalawang Aśvin; gayundin ang lahat ng Sādhya at ang mga Marut. Inilagay nila si Yama sa unahan, at kasama rin si Kubera, panginoon ng kayamanan, at dumating sila sa pook na iyon sa marangal na kaayusan.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights cosmic discipline and respect for rightful authority: even divine beings proceed in an ordered manner, placing Yama (moral retribution and justice) and Kubera (rightful wealth) at the forefront, suggesting that power is ideally guided by ethical governance and proper hierarchy.
A great gathering is forming: multiple classes of gods arrive in their vimānas to the scene, led ceremonially by Yama and accompanied by Kubera, indicating a solemn, consequential event that draws the attention of the entire divine order.
