Praise and Primacy of the Eastern Quarter
भोगा यस्मात् प्रतिष्ठन्ते व्याप्य सर्वान् सुरासुरान् । प्रणतो द्रष्टमिच्छामि कृष्णं योगिनमव्ययम्
bhogā yasmāt pratiṣṭhante vyāpya sarvān surāsurān | praṇato draṣṭum icchāmi kṛṣṇaṃ yoginam avyayam ||
Nārada berkata: “Dari-Nya timbul kenikmatan yang meresapi dan menopang semua—para dewa maupun asura. Dengan tunduk hormat, aku ingin memandang Kṛṣṇa, Sang Yogin yang tak binasa.”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
All enjoyments and attainments—whether sought by gods or asuras—ultimately depend on the supreme, imperishable divine reality. The proper response to that source is humility and devotional seeking (praṇāma and darśana).
Nārada expresses reverent longing to have darśana of Kṛṣṇa, praising him as the imperishable Yogin from whom the capacities for enjoyment and fulfillment extend even to the celestial and demonic hosts.
