यमसभावर्णनम् (Yamasabhā-varṇanam) — Nārada’s Description of Dharmarāja’s Assembly
न शोको न जरा तसस्यां क्षुत्पिपासे न चाप्रियम् । न च दैन्यं क्लमो वापि प्रतिकूलं न चाप्युत
na śoko na jarā tasyāṃ kṣutpipāse na cāpriyam | na ca dainyaṃ klamo vāpi pratikūlaṃ na cāpy uta ||
ナーラダはその境域を、身を受けた生の常の重荷から完全に解き放たれたものとして語った。そこには悲しみも老いもなく、飢えも渇きもない。人を不快にする出来事も起こらず、貧しさも疲労も、いかなる逆境も—その名すら存在しない。
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an ideal state where the causes of human distress—grief, aging, deprivation, and adversity—do not operate, implicitly encouraging detachment from transient worldly conditions and valuing a dharmic life oriented toward higher well-being.
Nārada is describing the qualities of a particular exalted realm/condition, emphasizing its freedom from suffering and negative experiences to convey its superiority to ordinary worldly life.
