नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
इति लोकमनाक्रन्दं मोहशोकपरिप्लुतम् । स्रोतसा सहसा<$5क्षिप्तं ह्वियमाणं बलीयसा,इस प्रकार सब लोग भवसागरके प्रबल प्रवाहमें सहसा पड़कर इधर-उधर बहते हुए मोह और शोकमें डूब रहे हैं और आर्तनादतक नहीं कर पाते हैं
iti lokam anākrandaṃ mohaśokapariplutam | srotasā sahasā kṣiptaṃ hviyamāṇaṃ balīyasā ||
So ist die Welt, nicht einmal fähig zu klagen, von Verblendung und Kummer überflutet — jäh in den Strom geschleudert und von einer stärkeren Macht hilflos fortgerissen.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Human beings are often swept along by the powerful current of saṃsāra—driven by forces stronger than their immediate control—so that delusion (moha) and grief (śoka) overwhelm them and even silence their capacity for clear lament or reflection. The implied ethical-spiritual lesson is to cultivate discernment and steadiness so one is not helplessly carried away by these currents.
Nārada describes the condition of the world: people are suddenly cast into a rushing stream and, overpowered by a stronger force, are swept about and submerged in delusion and sorrow, unable even to cry out. The imagery frames a broader instruction on the human predicament and the need for dharmic insight.
