Shloka 6
कर्म–ज्ञान–दैव–स्वभावविचारः
Inquiry into Karma, Knowledge, Fate, and Nature
अरति: क्रोधचापल्ये भयं नैतानि नारदे । अदीर्घसूत्र: शूरश्न॒ तस्मात् सर्वत्र पूजित:
aratiḥ krodha-cāpalye bhayaṁ naitāni nārade | adīrgha-sūtraḥ śūraś ca tasmāt sarvatra pūjitaḥ ||
नारदजी में अरुचि, क्रोध, चपलता और भय—ये दोष नहीं हैं। वे दीर्घसूत्री (कार्य में विलम्ब करने वाले) नहीं; अपितु धर्म और दया आदि कर्मों के पालन में शूरवीर हैं। इसी कारण वे सर्वत्र आदर पाते हैं।

Educational Q&A
The verse presents an ethical ideal: a worthy person is free from ill-will, anger, fickleness, and fear, and is prompt (not procrastinating) and courageous in practicing dharma and compassionate action; such character naturally earns universal respect.
Vāyu addresses Nārada and describes the exemplary qualities of a praised individual, emphasizing the absence of common inner faults and the presence of energetic, brave commitment to righteous and compassionate deeds, explaining why that person is honored everywhere.
