नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
कथं त्वहमसंश्लिष्टो गच्छेयं गतिमुत्तमाम् | नावर्तेयं यथा भूयो योनिसंकरसागरे
kathaṁ tv aham asaṁśliṣṭo gaccheyaṁ gatim uttamām | na āvarteyaṁ yathā bhūyo yoni-saṅkara-sāgare ||
ナーラダは言った。「いかにして私は、執着なく、からまりなく、最高の境地に到ることができようか。再びこの世の生成の大海、雑多にして繰り返される生の海へ戻らぬために。」
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames liberation as freedom from attachment and entanglement (asaṁśliṣṭaḥ). The ethical-spiritual aim is to reach the ‘highest state’ (uttamā gati) characterized by non-return—ending the cycle of repeated births symbolized as an ocean (sāgara) of saṁsāra.
Nārada, speaking as a seeker, asks for the means to attain the supreme destination without falling back into worldly existence. The question sets up instruction on the disciplines or understanding by which one becomes unattached and avoids further rebirth.
