The Appearance and Coronation of King Pṛthu (Pṛthu-avatāra) and His Humble Refusal of Premature Praise
मैत्रेय उवाच प्रशंसन्ति स्म तं विप्रा गन्धर्वप्रवरा जगु: । मुमुचु: सुमनोधारा: सिद्धा नृत्यन्ति स्व:स्त्रिय: ॥ ७ ॥
maitreya uvāca praśaṁsanti sma taṁ viprā gandharva-pravarā jaguḥ mumucuḥ sumano-dhārāḥ siddhā nṛtyanti svaḥ-striyaḥ
Maitreya nói: Thưa Vidura, khi ấy các bà-la-môn đều hết lòng tán dương vua Pṛthu; những ca sĩ ưu tú của Gandharvaloka xướng ca vinh quang của ngài. Dân Siddhaloka rải mưa hoa, và các mỹ nữ cõi trời múa trong niềm hoan hỷ.
In this verse, celestial singing and flower-showers mark divine approval and celebration when a dharmic personality (here, Pṛthu Mahārāja) is honored.
The speaker is Maitreya Ṛṣi, narrating the scene of Pṛthu Mahārāja being glorified by both sages and celestial beings.
Honor and uplift righteous leadership and virtue—when one acts in dharma, genuine appreciation and support naturally arise from good people.
