Great devotees, who were always engaged in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as well as the great sages named Kapila, Nārada and Dattātreya, and masters of mystic powers, headed by Sanaka Kumāra, all attended the great sacrifice with Lord Viṣṇu.

Translation
The Siddhas, Vidyādharas, Daityas, Dānavas, Yakṣas, Sunanda and Nanda, who were the Lord’s chief associates, Kapila, Nārada, Dattātreya, masters of yoga, and the Kumāras, who were all great devotees eager for service, followed the Lord.
Personal Guidance
Kapila, Nārada, Dattātreya, the Kumāras — the masters of mystic powers — all attended. Real work draws the rarely-attending; presence of the genuinely great validates the form.
Reflection Questions
- Which 'rarely-attending' figure in my circle would I want at my next significant event?
- What would the presence of true mystics in my domain look like, practically?
