Shloka 15
Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)
तपसा गुरुवृत्त्या च ब्रह्म॒चर्येण वा विभो । देवतानां 230 ६५034 हानसूयक:
tapasā guruvṛttyā ca brahmacaryeṇa vā vibho | devatānāṁ hānāsūyakaḥ |
Janaka berkata: “Wahai yang perkasa, baik melalui tapa, melalui pengabdian dan perilaku yang benar kepada guru, maupun melalui disiplin brahmacarya—orang yang bebas dari iri hati terhadap para dewa (tatanan ilahi) memperoleh sikap batin yang tepat untuk kemajuan rohani.”

Educational Q&A
Spiritual maturity is supported by disciplined practice—tapas, respectful service to the guru, and brahmacarya—together with an essential ethical attitude: freedom from envy and fault-finding (an-asūyā), especially toward the divine order.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, King Janaka speaks to a powerful interlocutor, listing recognized means of inner purification (austerity, guru-oriented conduct, and brahmacarya) and emphasizing the accompanying virtue of non-envy.
