2.129

The four gandharvas, translated here as "scent-smellers", feed on fragrance; they are also called "fragrant aggregates" because their bodies emit fragrance. These are the devendra's spirits of worldly music. Music refers to acrobatic performances with inverted banners; musical sound refers to drums, rhythms, strings, and pipes; beautiful refers to the superior class among banner acrobatics; beautiful sound refers to the superior among strings and pipes.
