नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
ब्रह्मादीनां खेचराणां क्षितौ च ये चाधस्तात् संवसन्ते नरेन्द्र । तत्रैव तद्दर्शनं दर्शयन् वै सम्यक् क्षेम्यं ये पथं संश्रिता वै
brahmādīnāṁ khecarāṇāṁ kṣitau ca ye cādhastāt saṁvasanti narendra | tatraiva taddarśanaṁ darśayan vai samyak kṣemyaṁ ye pathaṁ saṁśritā vai, rājā janaka |
Yājñavalkya dit : «Ô roi, parmi les êtres qui parcourent le ciel, tels Brahmā et les autres dieux, parmi les hommes qui demeurent sur la terre, et parmi ceux qui vivent dans les mondes au-dessous de la terre—quiconque s’était réfugié dans la voie de bon augure menant à la délivrance—Viśvāvasu alla vers eux dans leurs propres domaines et leur enseigna cette vision juste (la compréhension droite) que je lui avais transmise.»

The verse emphasizes samyak-darśana—true or right understanding—as the foundation of the auspicious path to liberation, and presents it as a universal teaching applicable across all realms (gods, humans, and beings in lower worlds).
Yājñavalkya tells King Janaka that Viśvāvasu carried the instruction he had received—this doctrine of right vision—to qualified seekers in every realm, teaching them where they lived, provided they had taken refuge in the welfare-giving path to mokṣa.
