नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
अतो मे रोचते गन्तुमादित्यं दीप्ततेजसम् । अत्र वत्स्यामि दुर्धर्षो नि:ःशड्केनान्तरात्मना,अतः उद्दीप्त तेजवाले आदित्यमण्डलमें जाना ही मुझे अच्छा जान पड़ता है। इसमें मैं निर्भीकचित्त होकर निवास करूँगा। किसीके लिये भी मेरा पराभव करना कठिन होगा
ato me rocate gantum ādityaṁ dīptatejasam | atra vatsyāmi durdharṣo niḥśaṅkenāntarātmanā ||
Therefore it pleases me to depart for the Sun, whose radiance is blazing. There I shall dwell with an untroubled, fearless heart; I will be hard to assail, and difficult for anyone to overcome.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes inner fearlessness and self-assurance grounded in one’s inward resolve: when the mind is free from doubt and fear, one becomes ‘durdharṣa’—difficult to overpower—because stability of the inner self is a source of strength.
Nārada declares his intention to go to the radiant sphere of the Sun (Āditya) and live there. He presents this as a deliberate choice of abode, stating that in that realm he will dwell with a fearless inner heart and be difficult for others to defeat.
