The celestial ladies rained floral showers in succession upon that divine lord of yogis. Auspicious breezes began to blow, bearing celestial perfumes. The gandharvas hymned his praises, as also great rishis always engaged in the performance of sacrifices. Some speak of him as the puissant son of the Grandsire, Sanat-kumara, the eldest of all the sons of Brahma. Some speak of him as the son of Maheshvara, and some as that of Agni. Some again describe him as the son of Uma or of the Krittikas or of Ganga. Hundreds and thousands of people speak of that Lord of yogis of blazing form and great might, as the son of one of those, or of either of two of those, or of any one of four of those. > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 9.45.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.9.45.86) - [Next: 9.45.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.9.45.88) - [Up: 9.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.9.45) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.9.46.17) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Other recensions (2) - [Southern recension](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*southern.9.47.100) — Sanskrit - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.9.46.100) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.9.45.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.9.45.87) · Pramāṇa
