Marutta Seeks a Priest: Bṛhaspati’s Refusal and Nārada’s Guidance to Saṃvarta
Chapter 6
व्यास उवाच एवमुक्तस्तु नृपतिर्मरुत्तो व्रीडितो5भवत् । प्रत्यागच्छन् सुसंविग्नो ददर्श पथि नारदम्,व्यासजी कहते हैं--राजन्! बृहस्पतिजीसे ऐसा उत्तर पाकर महाराज मरुत्तको बड़ा संकोच हुआ। वे बहुत खिन्न होकर लौटे जा रहे थे, उसी समय मार्ममें उन्हें देवर्षि नारदजीका दर्शन हुआ
vyāsa uvāca evam uktas tu nṛpatir marutto vrīḍito 'bhavat | pratyāgacchan susaṃvigno dadarśa pathi nāradam |
Vyāsa said: When the king Marutta received such a reply, he was overcome with embarrassment. Distressed and deeply agitated, he turned back; and as he was returning along the road, he saw the divine sage Nārada.
