নারদ বললেন—হে ভগবান! অঙ্গ-উপাঙ্গসহ বেদে ও পুরাণে আপনারই মহিমা গীত হয়। আপনি অজ, শাশ্বত, ধারক-স্রষ্টা; আপনি সকলের মাতা-পিতা এবং সর্বোত্তম অমৃতস্বরূপ।
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse affirms that the Supreme Lord is the ultimate subject of scriptural praise and the source of all support: unborn, eternal, the universal parent, and the highest immortality. Ethically, it grounds dharma in reverence for the transcendent foundation that scriptures point toward.
Narada addresses the Lord in a devotional register, declaring that all authoritative traditions—Vedas, Purāṇas, and their ancillary disciplines—celebrate the same Supreme Reality, whom he describes with classic epithets of divinity and immortality.
