Marutta Seeks a Priest: Bṛhaspati’s Refusal and Nārada’s Guidance to Saṃvarta
Chapter 6
व्यास उवाच स तथेति प्रतिश्रुत्य पूजयित्वा च नारदम् | अभ्यनुज्ञाय राजर्षिययौ वाराणसीं पुरीम्
vyāsa uvāca sa tatheti pratiśrutya pūjayitvā ca nāradam | abhyanugñāya rājarṣir yayau vārāṇasīṃ purīm ||
Vyāsa dit : Ayant entendu cela, le sage royal Marutta acquiesça en disant : «Qu’il en soit ainsi.» Il rendit à Nārada les honneurs qui lui étaient dus, prit congé avec sa permission, puis se mit en route vers la cité de Vārāṇasī.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
A ruler should honor spiritual wisdom, respond with truthful assent, and act with proper etiquette—seeking permission and maintaining humility—before undertaking important actions.
Marutta agrees to Nārada’s words, reveres him, formally takes leave, and departs for Vārāṇasī, indicating a transition to the next stage of the episode.
