Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
शान्ति: सा त्रिषु लोकेषु विहिता भावितात्मना । एतया शुभया बुद्धया नैछिकं व्रतमास्थित:
śāntiḥ sā triṣu lokeṣu vihitā bhāvitātmanā | etayā śubhayā buddhyā naiṣṭhikaṁ vratam āsthitaḥ ||
Kedamaian itu—yang ditegakkan di tiga alam—ditetapkan oleh Dia yang jiwanya telah sepenuhnya ditempa dan ditertibkan. Dengan buddhi yang suci dan membawa kesejahteraan ini, ia berdiam dalam kaul Naiṣṭhika, teguh dalam komitmen rohani yang tak tergoyahkan.

Educational Q&A
Peace in society and the cosmos is grounded in inner cultivation: a disciplined, matured self (bhāvitātman) guided by auspicious discernment (śubhā buddhi) can establish and sustain śānti, and such stability is expressed through steadfast ethical-spiritual commitment (naiṣṭhika vrata).
Nārada is describing an exemplary spiritually accomplished person whose inner discipline and beneficent understanding have made peace pervasive across the three worlds; he emphasizes the role of firm vows and unwavering practice in maintaining that peace.
