Nāradasya Rājadharma-praśnāḥ
Nārada’s Examination of Royal Ethics
लोकाननुचरन् सर्वानागमत् तां सभां नृप । नारद: सुमहातेजा ऋषिभि: सहितस्तदा
lokān anucaran sarvān āgamat tāṁ sabhāṁ nṛpa | nāradaḥ sumahātejā ṛṣibhiḥ sahitas tadā ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。「王よ、那羅陀は—きわめて大いなる霊威の光を具え—あらゆる世界を遍歴したのち、そのとき諸仙に伴われて、かの王の सभा（集会）へと到来した。」

Educational Q&A
The arrival of a world-traversing ṛṣi underscores that royal power is accountable to dharma. A king’s court is not merely political; it is a moral arena where the testimony and guidance of sages carry decisive authority.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Nārada, radiant and accompanied by other sages, comes to the royal assembly hall. His entrance sets up forthcoming counsel or revelations that will influence events in the court.
