Brāhmaṇa-pūjā, Haviḥ-dāna, and the Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī Saṃvāda
Chapter 34
नित्यं शमपरा ये च तथा ये चानसूयका: । नित्यस्वाध्यायिनो ये च दुर्गाण्यतितरन्ति ते
nityaṁ śamaparā ye ca tathā ye cānāsūyakāḥ | nityasvādhyāyino ye ca durgāṇy atitaranti te ||
Narada berkata: Mereka yang senantiasa berpegang pada ketenangan batin, yang bebas dari mencela dan iri hati, dan yang setiap hari tekun dalam svādhyāya (telaah ajaran suci)—mereka menyeberangi masa-masa genting dan lolos dari bahaya.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Cultivate steady mental calm (śama), avoid fault-finding and envy (anāsūyā), and maintain daily sacred study (svādhyāya); these disciplines enable a person to overcome dangers and crises.
Nārada is instructing by listing the qualities of people who successfully pass through adversity, emphasizing inner discipline and ethical speech/attitude rather than external power.
