तां योनिमावयोर्विद्धि योडसौ सदसदात्मक: । आवाभ्यां पूज्यतेडसौ हि दैवे पित्रये च कल्प्यते
tāṁ yonim āvayor viddhi yo 'sau sadasad-ātmakaḥ | āvābhyāṁ pūjyate 'sau hi daive pitrye ca kalpyate ||
اعلم أنّه هو عينُ المصدر—الرحم/السبب—لنا نحن الاثنين؛ هو الذي تشمل طبيعته الظاهرَ وغيرَ الظاهر، والحقَّ وغيرَ الحق. ذلك هو الذاتُ العُليا التي نعبدها نحن الاثنين؛ وهو الذي يُتصوَّر إلهًا في الطقوس الإلهية، وسَلَفًا في طقوس الأسلاف (pitṛ).
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Nārada teaches that the Supreme Self is the ultimate cause of all origins and transcends yet includes both sat (manifest being) and asat (unmanifest/non-being). The same Supreme is worshipped through both deva-rites and pitṛ-rites, indicating a single highest reality behind diverse ritual forms.
Speaking as a spiritual authority, Nārada instructs his listener to recognize the one Supreme principle as the shared origin of ‘both of us’ and to understand that customary worship directed to gods and ancestors ultimately refers to that same highest Self.
