Bhīṣma uvāca: Gandharvaś Citrāsenaś ca parivāragaṇair yutaḥ | Nāgāḥ siddhāś ca munayo devadevaḥ prajāpatiḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“大王啊，乾闼婆质多罗娑那亦率其眷属而来；那伽、悉达与诸牟尼圣者也都到场；甚至诸神之中的生主——般阇波提——也降临于彼处。”

The verse underscores that pivotal human resolutions—especially those tied to dharma—are not merely private choices; they resonate with the cosmic moral order, symbolized by the gathering of sages and celestial beings as witnesses and affirmers of righteous intent.
Bhīṣma describes a grand arrival: Citrāsena with his Gandharva retinue, along with Nāgas, Siddhas, sages, and Prajāpati. It is part of a larger depiction of a divine/cosmic congregation assembling at a significant moment.
