Aśvaśiras / Hayaśiras Narrative: Retrieval of the Vedas
दृश्यते ज्ञानयोगेन आवां च प्रसृतौ तत: । एवं ज्ञात्वा तमात्मानं पूजयाव: सनातनम्,ज्ञानयोगके द्वारा उसका साक्षात्कार होता है। हम दोनोंका आविर्भाव उसीसे हुआ है-- ऐसा जानकर हम दोनों उस सनातन परमात्माकी पूजा करते हैं
dṛśyate jñānayogena āvāṃ ca prasṛtau tataḥ | evaṃ jñātvā tam ātmānaṃ pūjayāvaḥ sanātanam ||
Dijo Nārada: «Él es percibido mediante la disciplina del conocimiento (jñāna-yoga). De Él hemos surgido también nosotros dos. Conociendo así a ese Ser, ambos rendimos culto al Señor eterno».
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Supreme Self is not grasped by mere external means but is directly realized through jñāna-yoga (disciplined knowledge and inner discernment). Recognizing the Self as the source from which beings arise naturally culminates in reverent worship—devotion grounded in insight.
Nārada is speaking and points to a realization shared by “we two” (dual): they understand that their own manifestation originates from the eternal Self. On the basis of this knowledge, they respond not with pride but with worship of the सनातन (eternal) परमात्मा.
