Above stands the Gandharva, above the navel, bearing many shining weapons. The essences of fragrance poured forth—what golden name the people hold dear.
The Gandharvā stood erect upon the firmament, brandishing towards us his wonderful weapons,investing all in his beautiful diffusive (form), they make them visible, like the sun he genitive rated the precious(rains).
Erect, to heaven hath the Gandharva mounted, pointing at us his many-coloured weapons; Clad in sweet raiment beautiful to look on, for he, as light, produceth forms that please us.
