Transliteration

siddhacāraṇasaṅghaiś ca prasannair asapaśobhitaḥ | mattavāraṇasaṃyukto nānāpakṣigaṇair yutaḥ || tam adbhutam acintyaṃ ca dṛṣṭvā munigaṇas tadā | vismito hṛṣṭaromā ca babhūvāśrāvilekṣaṇaḥ ||

Translation

خوش دل سِدھوں اور چارنوں کے گروہ نے اس پہاڑ کی رونق بڑھا دی۔ وہ جگہ پھر سے مست ہاتھیوں اور طرح طرح کے پرندوں کے غول سے بھر گئی۔ اس عجیب و ناقابلِ تصور واقعے کو دیکھ کر مُنیوں کی مجلس حیرت زدہ ہو گئی؛ بدن میں رونگٹے کھڑے ہو گئے اور آنکھیں خوشی کے آنسوؤں سے بھر آئیں۔

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The passage highlights how contact with the divine or the extraordinary can transform a place and the hearts of the wise: true spiritual wonder (adbhuta) evokes reverence, joy, and devotional emotion rather than skepticism or pride.

What is happening in the narrative?

Celestial beings (Siddhas and Cāraṇas) rejoice and beautify a mountain region; the locale becomes lively again with elephants and many birds. The sages witness this inconceivable marvel and respond with amazement, goosebumps, and tears of joy.
