Sanskrit Original
एते चान्ये च बहवो राजानः पृथिवीपते। धनंजयसखा चात्र नित्यमास्ते स्म तुम्बुरुः॥ उपासते महात्मानमासीनं सप्तविंशतिः। चित्रसेनः सहामात्यो गन्धर्वाप्सरसस्तथा॥ गीतवादित्रकुशलाः साम्यतालविशारदाः। प्रमाणेऽथ लये स्थाने किन्नराः कृतनिश्रमाः॥ संचोदितास्तुम्बुरुणा गन्धर्वसहितास्तदा। गायन्ति दिव्यतानैस्ते यथान्यायं मनस्विनः। पाण्डुपुत्रानृषींश्चैव रमयन्त उपासते॥ तस्यां सभायामासीनाः सुव्रताः सत्यसंगराः। दिवीव देवा ब्रह्माणं युधिष्ठिरमुपासते॥
O lord of the earth, these and many other kings, (waited upon Yudhishthira) the friend of Dhananjaya (Arjuna) Tumbaru, Chitrasena with his ministers, and many other Gandharvas and Apsaras, all well-skilled in singing and playing music, and expert in cadence, and also the Kinnaras, well-skilled in measures and motions, all at the command of Tumbaru waited upon and amused the sons of Pandu and so did also the Rishis (that were present there) by singing celestials songs in proper and charming voice. Those best of men, those best of men, those men of rigid vows, those men with heart devoted to truth all waited upon Yudhishthira, as the celestials wait upon Brahma in heaven.
