(II, 6).—§ 268: Varuṇasabhāvarṇana (q.v.).—§ 269: Vaiśravaṇasabhāvarṇana (q.v.).—§ 270: Brahmasabhāvarṇana (q.v.).—§ 271: Yudhīṣṭhira said: It appears that almost all the monarchs are in the sabhā of Yama—the Nāgas, Daityas, rivers, and oceans in that of Varuṇa—the Yakṣas, Guhyakas, Rākṣasas, Gandharvas, Apsarases, and Śiva in that of Kubera—the great rṣis, and gods, and śastras in that of Pitāmaha (i.e. Brahmán); and in that of Cakra (i.e. Indra) gods, Gandharvas and various rṣis, but only one king, the rājarṣi Hariścandra (b); this is explained by Nārada. Pāṇḍu, beholding the good fortune of Hariścandra, had asked Nārada to tell Yudhīṣṭhira to subjugate the whole earth and then perform a rājasūya. Thereby also Pāṇḍu and his ancestors would go to the region of Indra. Brahmarakṣases, that destroy the sacrifices, always look for opportunities of obstructing it. Then Nārada went away to the city of the Dāśarhas, accompanied by the rṣis with whom he had come (II, 12). Lokaparāyaṇa = Kṛṣṇa: XII, 1553. Lokapati = Brahmán: I, 3593 (Prajāpatiḥ). Lokapitāmaha² = Brahmán, q v. Lokapitāmaha² = Dakṣa: I, 3130. Lokapitarah, said of the seven rṣis: XII, 12748. Lokapradhāna = Viṣṇu (1000 names).
