नारद-देवमत-संवादः
Nārada–Devamata Dialogue on Prāṇa, Apāna, and Udāna
अन्निर्व देवता: सर्वा इति देवस्प शासनम् | संजायते ब्राह्मणस्य ज्ञानं बुद्धिसमन्वितम्
agnir vai devatāḥ sarvā iti devaspa śāsanam | sañjāyate brāhmaṇasya jñānaṃ buddhisamanvitam ||
Nārada bersabda: “Agni sungguh adalah semua dewa”—demikianlah titah wahyu ilahi. Dari perintah Weda itu timbul pada seorang brāhmaṇa pengetahuan yang disertai kebijaksanaan (buddhi).
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse asserts a Vedic principle that Agni is to be understood as encompassing all deities, and that scriptural injunction (Veda) is the source from which discerning spiritual knowledge arises in a properly trained Brahmin.
Nārada is instructing by citing Vedic authority: he quotes an established doctrinal statement and explains its effect—producing buddhi-guided knowledge in the Brahmin—thereby grounding the discussion in revelation and disciplined learning.
