Translation
Aryamā as the sun-god, Pulaha as the sage, Athaujā as the Yakṣa, Praheti as the Rākṣasa, Puñjikasthalī as the Apsarā, Nārada as the Gandharva and Kacchanīra as the Nāga rule the month of Mādhava. Mādhavam means Vaiśākha month. Aryamā is the sun-god, Pulaha is the sage, Athaujā is the Yakṣa, Praheti is the Rākṣasa, Puñjikasthalī is the Apsarā, Nārada is the Gandharva and Kacchanīra is the Nāga
Aryama, Pulaha, Athauja, Praheti, Punjikasthali, Narada, Kacchanira — the second month's team. The Bhagavatam keeps naming because relationships need names. Anonymity is a kind of forgetting.
