The Seasons also, in their embodied forms, bore the fragrance of flowers peculiar to each, to that assemblage of celestials, that gathering of all creatures of the universe, where celestial maidens danced and sang in accompaniment with celestial music. In the midst of that assembly, Indra, saluting the Lord of all the celestial and bowing his head to him with respect, asked him, saying, I wish, O Grandfather, to know why the region of kine is higher, O holy one, than the region of the celestials themselves who are the lords of all the worlds.
आजहुर्ऋतवश्चापि सुगन्धीनि पृथक् पृथक्। तस्मिन् देवसमावाये सर्वभूतसमागमे॥ दिव्यवादित्रसंघुष्टे दिव्यस्त्रीचारणावृते। इन्द्रः पप्रच्छ देवेशमभिवाद्य प्रणम्य च॥ देवानां भगवन् कस्माल्लोकेशानां पितामह। उपरिष्टाद् गवां लोक एतदिच्छामि वेदितुम्॥
