Brahmagītā: Praise of Brāhmaṇas and norms of honor
देवगन्धर्वसंघातैरप्सरोभिश्षू सर्वतः । नृत्तश्नैवोपगीतश्च पितामह इव प्रभु:
deva-gandharva-saṅghātair apsarobhiś ca sarvataḥ | nṛttaś caivopagītaś ca pitāmaha iva prabhuḥ ||
众天界乾闼婆与阿普萨罗从四面环绕着他，歌舞不息。他在其间威光赫奕，宛如祖父梵天（Brahmā）亲临。凡恒常聆听并讲述这位王仙弗利沙达婆（Vṛṣadarbha，Uśīnara）事迹者，必于世间成为有功德之人。

The passage affirms the ethical value of śravaṇa and kīrtana: regularly hearing and narrating a righteous king’s exemplary conduct (here, Vṛṣadarbha/Uśīnara) generates puṇya and cultivates a virtuous disposition.
Śyena describes a scene of divine celebration: Gandharvas and Apsarases encircle the honored figure with song and dance, and he appears radiant like Brahmā. The verse then adds a phalaśruti-style statement praising the merit gained by listening to and recounting this episode.
