| | Gandharvas |
 | | The `heavenly Gandharva' of the Veda was a deity who knew and revealed the secrets of heaven and divine truths in general. | | | The Gandharvas generally had their dwelling in the sky or atmosphere, and one of their offices was to prepare the heavenly soma juice for the gods. | | | Thereupon the Nagas sent their sister Narmada (the Nerbudda river) to this Purukutsa, and she conducted him to the regions below, where he destroyed the Gandharvas. |
