Brāhmaṇa-pūjā, Haviḥ-dāna, and the Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī Saṃvāda
Chapter 34
नित्यं शमपरा ये च तथा ये चानसूयका: । नित्यस्वाध्यायिनो ये च दुर्गाण्यतितरन्ति ते,जो सदा मनको वशमें रखते, किसीके दोषपर दृष्टि नहीं डालते और प्रतिदिन स्वाध्यायमें संलग्न रहते हैं वे दुर्गण संकटसे पार हो जाते हैं
nityaṁ śamaparā ye ca tathā ye cānāsūyakāḥ | nityasvādhyāyino ye ca durgāṇy atitaranti te ||
Narada said: Those who are ever devoted to inner calm, who are free from fault-finding and envy, and who daily engage in self-study of sacred teaching—such people cross over difficult straits and pass beyond times of peril.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Cultivate steady mental calm (śama), avoid fault-finding and envy (anāsūyā), and maintain daily sacred study (svādhyāya); these disciplines enable a person to overcome dangers and crises.
Nārada is instructing by listing the qualities of people who successfully pass through adversity, emphasizing inner discipline and ethical speech/attitude rather than external power.
