Shloka 6
नागैः सह ब्राह्मणस्य अतिथिधर्म-व्रतसंवादः | The Brahmin’s Vow and the Nāgas’ Hospitality Appeal
तस्मादुत्तिष्ठते विप्र देवाद् विश्वभुवः पते: । क्षमा क्षमावतां श्रेष्ठ यया भूमिस्तु युज्यते,विप्रवर! क्षमाशीलोंमें श्रेष्ठ नारद! विश्वविधाता ब्रह्माजीके भी पति उन परमेश्वरसे ही क्षमाकी उत्पत्ति हुई है, जिससे पृथ्वीका संयोग होता है
tasmād uttiṣṭhate vipra devād viśvabhuvaḥ pateḥ | kṣamā kṣamāvatāṃ śreṣṭha yayā bhūmis tu yujyate ||
ナーラダは言った。「それゆえ、婆羅門よ、起き上がれ。赦しは、宇宙の創造主の主たる至上の神より生ずる。赦す者のうち最勝の者よ、赦しによってこそ大地は保たれ、衆生の和合が可能となる。」
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Forgiveness (kṣamā) is presented as a divine principle originating from the Supreme Lord and as a force that sustains the world; therefore one should rise above anger and practice forbearance as a foundation of dharma and social stability.
Nārada exhorts a brahmin interlocutor to ‘rise up’—to adopt a higher moral stance—and grounds his counsel in theology: even the creator (Brahmā) has a lord, and from that supreme source forgiveness arises, by which the earth and human relations remain joined and workable.
