SB 10.27.24
tatragatas tumburu-naradadayo
 gandharva-vidyadhara-siddha-caranah
jagur yaso loka-malapaham hareh
 suranganah sannanrtur mudanvitah

Translation: 
Tumburu, Narada and other Gandharvas, along with the Vidyadharas, Siddhas and Caranas, came there to sing the glories of Lord Hari, which purify the entire world. And the wives of the demigods, filled with joy, danced together in the Lord’s honor.


SB 10.27.25
tam tustuvur deva-nikaya-ketavo
 hy avakirams cadbhuta-puspa-vrstibhih
lokah param nirvrtim apnuvams trayo
 gavas tada gam anayan payo-drutam

Translation: 
The most eminent demigods chanted the praises of the Lord and scattered wonderful showers of flowers all around Him. All three worlds felt supreme satisfaction, and the cows drenched the surface of the earth with their milk.

Purport: 
The word ketavah means, literally, “banners.” The leading demigods are the emblems, or banners, of the demigod race, and they took the lead in glorifying the Lord and covering Him with an amazing shower of multicolored, fragrant flowers.
