Shloka 11
Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)
तत्र गच्छस्व वै तूर्ण यदि ते हृदि संशय: । प्रवृत्ती वा निवृत्तौ वा स ते च्छेत्स्यति संशयम्
tatra gacchasva vai tūrṇaṃ yadi te hṛdi saṃśayaḥ | pravṛttī vā nivṛttau vā sa te cchetsyati saṃśayam ||
叔迦は言った。「もし心に疑いが生じたなら、ただちにそこへ赴け。世に関わる行（pravṛtti）であれ、離欲退隠の行（nivṛtti）であれ、彼は汝の疑いを断ち切るであろう。」

Educational Q&A
When uncertainty arises about the proper dharma—whether to pursue active engagement (pravṛtti) or renunciant withdrawal (nivṛtti)—one should promptly approach a qualified authority. True guidance dispels doubt by clarifying the appropriate path for one’s situation and spiritual aim.
Śuka directs the listener to go immediately to a renowned knower of mokṣa-dharma—King Janaka of Videha—because Janaka is presented as capable of resolving the seeker’s confusion regarding the competing claims of action and renunciation.
