tadā ca kṛṣṇa-sānnidhyam āsādya bharatarṣabha | stuvanty antarhitā devā gandharvāś ca saharṣibhiḥ ||
于是，婆罗多族中的雄杰啊，当他来到黑天（Kṛṣṇa）面前之时，诸天神——隐而不现——与乾闼婆及诸仙（Ṛṣi）一同开始赞颂他。此景昭示：真正的伟大不唯在人间喝彩中得见，更在高界众生的敬礼中被承认；并将黑天置于道德与宇宙的中心，其临在自能引发自发的虔敬。

The verse highlights Kṛṣṇa’s supra-human stature: even unseen gods, Gandharvas, and sages are drawn to praise Him, suggesting that dharmic authority and moral centrality are validated by cosmic recognition, not only by worldly power.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that celestial beings—remaining invisible—approach Kṛṣṇa’s vicinity and begin to eulogize Him, marking a moment of divine acknowledgment within the Ashvamedhika Parva’s unfolding events.
