Kurukṣetra Campaign in Summary
गायतां पर्वतेन्द्रस्य दिवस्पृणिव नि:स्वन: । जैसे मुनिगणोंसे मेरुकी शोभा होती है
gāyatāṃ parvatendrasya divaspṛṇiva niḥsvanaḥ |
毗湿摩波衍那（Vaiśaṃpāyana）说道：从那座群山之主的峰顶，男女欢欣而甘美的歌声以宏大的回响腾起，仿佛充满了诸天。正如须弥山（Meru）因众牟尼仙人云集而增辉，那座山也因德瓦拉卡民众的聚会而格外可观；其节庆之乐似乎直达天界。

The verse highlights how collective harmony and joyful, auspicious conduct can transform a place into something spiritually and aesthetically elevated—so powerful that it is likened to reaching heaven. It also uses the Meru-and-sages simile to suggest that noble company itself is an ornament.
A festive gathering has formed on the summit of a great mountain. Men and women, overcome with joy, sing so sweetly and loudly that their resonance seems to pervade the sky; the mountain’s beauty is intensified by the assembly of the people of Dvārakā, like Meru adorned by sages.
