यमसभावर्णनम् (Yamasabhā-varṇanam) — Nārada’s Description of Dharmarāja’s Assembly
सर्वे कामा: स्थितास्तस्यां ये दिव्या ये च मानुषा: । सारवच्च प्रभूतं च भक्ष्यं भोज्यमरिंदम
sarve kāmāḥ sthitās tasyāṃ ye divyā ye ca mānuṣāḥ | sāravac ca prabhūtaṃ ca bhakṣyaṃ bhojyam ariṃdama śatrudamana ||
នារ៉ទៈបាននិយាយថា៖ «នៅទីនោះ ការរីករាយគ្រប់ប្រភេទ—ទាំងទេវ និងមនុស្ស—មានរួចរាល់នៅជិតដៃ។ ហើយមានអាហារសម្បូរបែប ឆ្ងាញ់ល្អឥតខ្ចោះ ទាំងអ្វីសម្រាប់បរិភោគ និងអ្វីសម្រាប់បម្រើ ឱ អ្នកបង្ក្រាបសត្រូវ»។
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the abundance of kāma (enjoyments) and provisions as marks of worldly prosperity, while implicitly reminding the listener that such pleasures—however divine or human—are contingent and can become sources of attachment if not governed by dharma and restraint.
Nārada is describing a splendid setting where every luxury is readily available: all kinds of pleasures, and plentiful, delicious foods. The address “ariṃdama/śatrudamana” indicates he is speaking to a heroic figure, praising the grandeur and readiness of comforts in that place.
