My dear King Yudhiṣṭhira, the demigods then approached the Lord. They were headed by Lord Brahmā, King Indra and Lord Śiva and included great saintly persons and the residents of Pitṛloka, Siddhaloka, Vidyādhara-loka and the planet of the snakes. The Manus approached, and so did the chiefs of various other planets. The angelic dancers approached, as did the Gandharvas, the Cāraṇas, the Yakṣas, the inhabitants of Kinnaraloka, the Vetālas, the inhabitants of Kimpuruṣa-loka, and the personal servants of Viṣṇu like Sunanda and Kumuda. All of them came near the Lord, who glowed with intense light. They individually offered their obeisances and prayers, their hands folded at their heads.
Gauḍīya Ācāryas
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O Yudhiṣṭhira! The devatās headed by Brahmā, Indra and Śiva, the sages, the Pitṛs, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, the snakes, the Manus, the Prajāpatis, the Gandharvas, the Apsarās, the Cāraṇas, the Yakṣas, the Kimpuruṣas, the Vetālas, the Kinnaras, and the associates of Viṣṇu, such as Sunanda and Kumuda, with hands over their heads, not too far away, each offered respects to the seated man-lion who was shining brilliantly. The form apsara-cāranāḥ is poetic license.
Personal Guidance
Brahmā, Indra, Śiva, sages, Pitṛs, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, Manus, dancers, Gandharvas, Cāraṇas, Yakṣas, Kinnaras, Vetālas, Kimpuruṣas, Sunanda, Kumuda — every rank approaches and offers prayers, hands folded at the head. Every order of being responds when the Lord acts decisively.
Reflection Questions
  • Which orders in your life all respond when one decisive act is taken?
  • What 'every-rank assembly' would your own breakthrough call forth?
