SECTION –CLXV
(Tirtha-yatra Parva Continued)
Vaisampayana said, "Then when the night had
been spent, Dhananjaya, together with his brothers, paid homage unto Yudhishthira
the just. And, O Bharata, at this moment, proceeding from the celestials there
arose mighty and tremendous sounds of a musical instrument, and the rattling of
car-wheels, and the tolling of bells. And there at all the beasts and beasts of
prey and birds emitted separate cries. And from all sides in cars resplendent
as the sun, hosts of Gandharvas and Apsaras began to follow that represser of
foes, the lord of the celestials. And ascending a car yoked with steeds,
decorated with burnished gold, and roaring like clouds, that king of the
celestials, Purandara blazing in beauty came unto the Parthas. And having
arrived (at that place), he of a thousand eyes descended from his car. And as
soon as Yudhishthira the just saw that high-souled one, he together with his
brothers, approached that graceful king of the immortals. And in accordance
with the ordinance that generous one duly worshipped him of immeasurable soul,
in consequence with his dignity. And then Dhananjaya possessed of prowess,
having bowed down unto Purandara, stood before the lord of the celestials in
humble guise, like unto a servant. And seeing the sinless Dhananjaya having
ascetic merit, bearing clotted hair, stand in humility before the lord of
celestials, Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti; of great energy, smelt (the crown)
of his head. And beholding Phalguna (in that attitude), he was exceedingly
glad; and by worshipping the king of the celestials, he experienced the highest
bliss. Then unto that strongminded monarch, swimming in felicity, the
intelligent lord of the celestials, Purandara, spake, saying, Thou shalt rule
the earth, O Pandava, Blessed be thou! Do thou, O Kunti's son, again repair
unto Kamyaka.'"That learned man who for a year leading the Brahmacharya
mode of life, subduing his senses and observing vows, peruseth with rapt
attention this meeting of Sakra with the Pandavas, liveth a hundred years free
from disturbances, and enjoying happiness."'
