Shloka 33
राजसूयविचारः — Deliberation on the Rajasuya and the Summoning of Kṛṣṇa
वैशम्पायन उवाच एवमाख्याय पार्थेभ्यो नारदो जनमेजय । जगाम तैरवृतो राजनृूषिभियें: समागत:
Vaiśampāyana uvāca—evam ākhyāya Pārthebhyo Nārado Janamejaya | jagāma tair āvṛto rājan ṛṣibhir ye samāgatāḥ ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: «Oh Janamejaya, tras relatar así el asunto a los hijos de Pṛthā, Nārada—rodeado por los mismos sabios que lo habían acompañado—partió de nuevo».
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the disciplined transmission of itihāsa: a sage delivers counsel or narrative to rightful hearers and then withdraws, underscoring restraint, authority of testimony, and the role of sages in guiding kings and heroes toward dharma.
After speaking to the Pāṇḍavas, Nārada leaves, accompanied and surrounded by the same group of sages who had come with him, as Vaiśampāyana reports this to King Janamejaya.
