Shloka 13
नारदेन गरुडात्मजानां नामकीर्तनम् | Nārada’s Enumeration of Garuḍa’s Descendants
नैतानि शक््यं निर्देष्टर रूपतो द्रव्यतस्तथा । गुणतश्वैव सिद्धानि प्रमाणगुणवन्ति च
naitāni śakyaṃ nirdeṣṭuṃ rūpato dravyatas tathā | guṇataś caiva siddhāni pramāṇaguṇavanti ca ||
नारद ने कहा—इनका यथार्थ वर्णन न तो रूप से किया जा सकता है, न उनके द्रव्यों से। इनके गुण स्वयं सिद्ध हैं; और सम्यक् प्रमाण, अनुपात तथा सर्वगुणसम्पन्नता के कारण ये सर्वथा प्रशंसनीय और प्रसिद्ध हैं।
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that true excellence may exceed verbal cataloguing: when qualities and proportion are self-evident, reputation rests on manifest merit rather than on exhaustive description of form and materials.
Nārada is describing extraordinary objects/structures and emphasizes that their beauty, materials, and full specification cannot be adequately conveyed; their fame arises from their superior qualities and perfect proportions.
