पितृयज्ञे नारायणतत्त्वम् — The Nārāyaṇa Grounding of Ancestral Offerings
सोअन्तरिक्षं महीं चैव सशैलवनकाननाम् । विलोकयामास तदा सरांसि सरितस्तथा,आकाश, पर्वत, वन और काननोंसहित पृथ्वी एवं सरोवरों और सरिताओंकी ओर भी उन्होंने दृष्टि डाली
so 'ntarikṣaṃ mahīṃ caiva saśailavanakānanām | vilokayāmāsa tadā sarāṃsi saritas tathā ||
そのときシュカ（Śuka）は、中空と大地とを—山々、森、木立を伴う大地を—くまなく見渡し、さらに湖と流れゆく河川にも目を注いだ。この場面は、世界を自然の一つの場として総体的に観照する沈思の眼差しを示し、所有欲ではなく離欲と識別を促している。

The verse highlights a contemplative, panoramic seeing of the world—sky, earth, mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers—suggesting a mind trained to observe without grasping, a foundation for peace (śānti) and renunciant discernment.
Śuka narrates that the person in focus (contextually, a sage-like figure) surveys the entire landscape—mid-air and earth with its natural features—indicating a moment of reflective observation rather than action.
