Note 14 — I. KING MĀNDHĀTAR.1
Anton Schiefner translation
As they proceeded they reached the abode of the ever-elevated gods,14 who asked why they were on the move. They replied, “The king of men is coming here.” Thereupon they turned round and stopped the host. When the king came up he asked who had stopped the host. He was told that the ever-elevated gods had stopped it. The king said, “Let the ever-elevated gods march in front of me.” Thereupon they began to move onwards.
