bracelets on the upper arms, attired in robes of pure white and decked
with floral wreaths of many hues, there he sitteth with beauty, fame,
and glory by his side. And the illustrious deity of a hundred sacrifices
is daily waited upon, O monarch, in that assembly by the Marutas in a
body, each leading the life of a householder in the bosom of his family.
And the Siddhyas, celestial Rishis, the Sadhyas in all, the gods, and
Marutas of brilliant complexion and adorned with golden garlands,--all
of them in celestial form and decked in ornaments, always wait upon and
worship the illustrious chief of the immortals, that mighty represser of
all foes. And O son of Pritha, the celestial Rishis also, all of pure
souls, with sins completely washed off and resplendent as the fire, and
possessed of energy, and without sorrow of any kind, and freed from the
fever of anxiety, and all performers of the Soma sacrifice, also wait
upon and worship Indra. And Parasara and Parvata and Savarni and Galava;
and Sankha, and the Muni, Gaursiras, and Durvasa, and Krodhana and Swena
and the Muni Dhirghatamas; and Pavitrapani, Savarni, Yajnavalkya and
Bhaluki; and Udyalaka, Swetaketu, and Tandya, and also Bhandayani; and
Havishmat, and Garishta, and king Harischandra; and Hridya,
Udarshandilya. Parasarya, Krishivala; Vataskandha, Visakha, Vidhatas and
Kala. Karaladanta, Tastri, and Vishwakarman, and Tumuru; and other
Rishis, some born of women and others living upon air, and others again
living upon fire, these all worship Indra, the wielder of the
thunderbolt, the lord of all the worlds. And Sahadeva, and Sunitha, and
Valmiki of great ascetic merit; and Samika of truthful speech, and
Prachetas ever fulfilling their promises, and Medhatithi, and Vamadeva,
and Pulastya, Pulaha and Kratu; and Maruta and Marichi, and Sthanu of
great ascetic merit; and Kakshivat, and Gautama, and Tarkhya, and also the
Muni Vaishwanara; and the Muni Kalakavrikhiya and Asravya, and also
Hiranmaya, and Samvartta, and Dehavya, and Viswaksena of great energy; and
