在那大威光的王者——法之子——所立之处，因陀罗率领摩卢特众与婆苏众而来；又有双生阿湿毗尼；并萨陀耶众、鲁陀罗众、阿底提耶众；以及其他天界住民、诸悉地者与大圣仙，皆至其所。众人齐集于法生的显赫王——坚战——所站立的那一点。于是释迦罗，诸天之主，具足无上光辉，（前来/显现）。

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores that steadfast adherence to dharma culminates in recognition by the cosmic order itself: the righteous king is honored not merely by humans but by the full hierarchy of divine and perfected beings, suggesting that ethical integrity has transcendent consequences.
At the point where Yudhiṣṭhira stands (in the ascent-to-heaven episode), Indra arrives accompanied by multiple classes of gods, Siddhas, and great seers, forming a grand celestial assembly; then Indra, radiant with supreme splendor, comes forward.
