३2008 3842१ त्वा नारदस्याथ भाषितम् | न मेउत्र रोचते ब्रज माचिरम्,नारदजीका यह भाषण सुनकर मातलिने कहा--“यहाँ मुझे कोई भी वर पसंद नहीं आया; अत: शीघ्र ही अन्यत्र कहीं चलिये”
tvaṃ nāradasyātha bhāṣitam | na me 'tra rocate vraja mā ciram |
ナーラダの言葉を聞き終えると、マータリは答えた。「ここには、選ぶに足るものが何一つない。ゆえに、ためらわず他所へ行こう。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights discernment (viveka): one should not accept an option merely because it is presented; if it does not meet one’s ethical or practical criteria, one should move on promptly rather than linger in indecision.
Nārada has spoken, and Mātali responds that none of the options available “here” seem suitable to him; he urges immediate departure to seek a better alternative elsewhere.
