D. and G. repair thither every month
it is the resort of Brahmán himself
G. and diverse tribes of Aps. are to be seen there, passing the time happily
D. and P. sport there in joy, sacred flowers being strewn over them
Baladeva heard the sound of those celestial songs and musical instruments, and saw many shadows of D., G., and Rā.
