Educational Q&A
The verse underscores disciplined renunciation guided by proper spiritual authority: after receiving Nārada’s consent, Śuka acts with humility (salutation) and steadiness (re-entering yoga), illustrating the yogin’s non-attachment and inner freedom.
Śuka, Vyāsa’s son, is granted leave by Nārada; he bows to him, resumes yogic absorption, and then departs by entering the sky—signaling his continued journey as an accomplished ascetic.
