TRANSLATION

My dear King Yudhisthira, the demigods then approached the
Lord. They were headed by Lord Brahma, King Indra and Lord
Siva and included great saintly persons and the residents of
Pitrloka, Siddhaloka, Vidyadhara-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 Caranas, the Yaksas, the inhabitants of Kin-
naraloka, the Vetalas, the inhabitants of Kimpurusa-loka, and the
personal servants of Visnu like Sunanda and Kumuda. All of them
came near the Lord, who glowed with intense light. They in-
dividually offered their obeisances and prayers, their hands folded
at their heads.
