तथा निगमवृद्धाश्च कुलीना ये च मानवाः । शिरसा ऽ ऽवन्द्य राजानमुपासन्ते विचक्षणाः ॥ 7-37-21 ॥

Likewise the elders learned in the scriptures and those men of noble birth, being discerning, bowed to the king with their heads and waited upon him.

तथा परिवृतो राजा श्रीमद्भिर्ऋषिभिर्वृतः । राजभिश्च महावीर्यैर्वानरैश्च सराक्षसैः ॥ 7-37-22 ॥

Thus the king was surrounded — encircled by illustrious sages, by kings of great valor, and by the monkeys together with the rakshasas.

english translation

यथा देवेश्वरो नित्यमृषिभिः समुपास्यते । अधिकस्तेन रूपेण सहस्राक्षाद्विरोचते ॥ 7-37-23 ॥

Just as the Lord of the Gods (Indra) is ever waited upon by the sages, so too, by that very splendor, he shone forth even more brilliantly than the thousand-eyed one (Indra).

तेषां समुपविष्टानां तास्ताः सुमधुराः कथाः । कथ्यन्ते धर्मसंयुक्ताः पुराणज्ञैर्महात्मभिः ॥ 7-37-24 ॥

While they were thus seated together, those many sweet tales, full of righteousness, were related by the great-souled ones who were versed in the ancient lore.
