Note: The Devanagari shows `cīrāmbarācchannā` (ending in long `ā`), which is typically feminine singular nominative. However, in the context of this series of verses, 'kecit' (masculine plural) consistently refers to groups of beings described by masculine plural nouns or adjectives. Therefore, `cīrāmbarācchannā` is here interpreted as `cīrāmbarācchannāḥ` (masculine plural nominative), with the final visarga being omitted, a common practice in some poetic or manuscript traditions.
