Mereka hidup dengan menyantap havis yang disucikan serta makanan yang layak dipersembahkan kepada para dewa. Dalam kisah ini, Nārada disebut sebagai paman dari pihak ibu, dan Parvata sebagai keponakan—menegaskan ikatan kekerabatan mereka.

The verse highlights dharmic discipline through purity in consumption: living on sanctified offerings and food suitable for divine offering symbolizes restraint, reverence, and ethical alignment of daily life with sacred duty.
Kṛṣṇa describes a setting where individuals sustain themselves on consecrated, ritually pure food, and he notes the relationship between the sages: Nārada is the maternal uncle and Parvata is the nephew, situating them within a familial and ascetic context.
