Nārada’s Teaching on a Viṣṇu-Vrata for Securing a Husband
Narrative of the Apsarases
अगस्त्य उवाच । एवमुक्त्वा स देवर्षिः प्रययौ नारदः क्षणात् । ता अप्येतद् व्रतं चक्रुस् तुष्टश्चासां स्वयं हरिः ॥ ५४.२३ ॥
agastya uvāca | evam uktvā sa devarṣiḥ prayayau nāradaḥ kṣaṇāt | tā apy etad vrataṃ cakrus tuṣṭaś cāsāṃ svayaṃ hariḥ || 54.23 ||
अगस्त्य ने कहा, यह सब कह के नारद वहीं चले गए। रुकने का टाइम नहीं लिया। फिर वो लोगों ने भी यह व्रत किया। और हरि खुद उनसे खुश हो गए।
