Gandharvas : in the Veda, Lord of hosts of Delight; in Puranas, musicians of Heaven. In Sri Aurobindo’s words, “beautiful, brave & melodious beings, the artists, musicians, poets & shining warriors of heaven” who, with Yakshas (q.v.) & Kinnaras (q.v.) form a class of beings “whose unifying characteristic is material ease, prosperity & a beautiful, happy & undisturbed self-indulgence”.
