Gandharva?



I am trying to find a definition for the word "Gandharva." It is used in a
sentence by Jack Kerouac: ..."then the ever Gandharva-like,
illusion-and-Maya-like dimlights of the portholes where some members of
the crew are reading in bunks..."  He is watching a ship sail away and
reflecting on the illusion of experience, I guess, but I don't know the
word "Gandharva" or what it is to be "Gandharva-like." I'm hoping someone
can help. Thank you.
