अध्याय ३३७ — ज्ञानमार्ग-वैविध्यप्रश्नः तथा व्यासस्य नारायणोद्भवकथा
Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
नारायणपरो भूत्वा नारायणजयं जपन् | तस्यैव च प्रसादेन पुनरेवोत्थितस्तु सः,नृपश्रेष्ठी सदा धर्मपर अनुराग रखनेवाले सत्यधर्मपरायण राजा उपरिचर भूमिके भीतर प्रवेश करके भी निरन्तर नारायण-मन्त्रका जप करते हुए भी उन्हींकी आराधनामें तत्पर रहते थे। अतः उन्हींकी कृपासे वे पुन: ऊपरको उठे और भूतलसे ब्रह्मलोकमें जाकर उन्होंने परम गति प्राप्त कर ली। अनायास ही उन्हें निष्ठावानोंकी यह उत्तम गति प्राप्त हो गयी

“Having become wholly devoted to Nārāyaṇa, and continually reciting the ‘Nārāyaṇa-jaya’ formula, he—by that very Lord’s grace—rose up once again.”
देव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Single-minded devotion to Nārāyaṇa, expressed through steady mantra-recitation, becomes the decisive cause of uplift—because divine grace (prasāda) responds to steadfastness and restores the devotee, leading toward the highest good.
The speaker (Deva) describes a person who remains absorbed in Nārāyaṇa and keeps reciting the ‘Nārāyaṇa-jaya’ utterance; as a result of Nārāyaṇa’s favor, he rises again—signaling rescue from a fallen state and an onward ascent to a higher spiritual destination.
