Aśvaśiras / Hayaśiras Narrative: Retrieval of the Vedas
त॑ वेदाश्षाश्रमाश्षैव नानामतसमास्थिता: । भक्त्या सम्पूजयन्त्याशु गतिं चैषां ददाति सः
taṁ vedāś cāśramāś caiva nānāmata-samāsthitāḥ | bhaktyā sampūjayanty āśu gatiṁ caiṣāṁ dadāti saḥ ||
Nārada said: Those who stand by the four Vedas, the four stages of life, and even the many differing schools of thought, worship Him with devotion; and He, in turn, swiftly grants all of them the highest course—an auspicious destiny.

Educational Q&A
Devotional worship of the Supreme is presented as a unifying and efficacious means: even people grounded in different authorities (Vedas, āśramas, or varied doctrines) attain an auspicious or highest destiny when their worship is sincere.
Nārada is describing how diverse communities—Vedic adherents, followers of the life-stage disciplines, and those aligned with multiple philosophical viewpoints—direct their reverence toward the same Supreme, who then rewards them by granting swift spiritual progress and a favorable end.
