Educational Q&A
The verse establishes Nārada’s spiritual authority: as a siddha revered across the three worlds, his testimony and guidance carry weight. His unhindered movement symbolizes freedom born of realization and the capacity of a true sage to access knowledge across realms without worldly limitation.
Bhīṣma, instructing the king, introduces Nārada by praising his status and mobility. This functions as a narrative credentialing: Nārada is presented as a reliable, widely honored sage who roams all worlds, implying he can bring comprehensive insight or messages relevant to dharma.
