कार्त्तिकेयाभिषेकः — Consecration of Kārttikeya and the Enumeration of His Retinue
ऐश्वर्याणि च सर्वाणि देवगन्धर्वरक्षसाम् | भूतयक्षविहड़नां पन्नगानां च सर्वश:
aiśvaryāṇi ca sarvāṇi devagandharvarakṣasām | bhūtayakṣavihaṅgānāṁ pannagānāṁ ca sarvaśaḥ ||
毗舍波耶那说道：“一切王权与辉煌——诸天、乾闼婆与罗刹所有者，以及同样属于部多、夜叉、飞禽与龙蛇者——皆已圆满具足，尽现于前。”

The verse underscores the vast spectrum of aiśvarya (sovereign power and splendor) across many orders of beings, suggesting that worldly and otherworldly might is manifold and graded—an implicit reminder that power is not exclusive to humans and must be understood within a larger cosmic hierarchy.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, describes an all-encompassing presence or display of powers and splendors associated with various celestial and non-human classes (gods, Gandharvas, Rākṣasas, Bhūtas, Yakṣas, birds, and serpents), heightening the epic scale of the scene by invoking the entire supernatural cosmos.
