Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
न होष क्षयतां याति सोम: सुरगणैर्यथा । कम्पितः पतते भूमिं पुनश्चैवाधिरोहति
na hoṣa kṣayatāṃ yāti somaḥ suragaṇair yathā | kampitaḥ patate bhūmiṃ punaś caivādhirohati ||
ນາຣະດະກ່າວວ່າ: «ພຣະອາທິດບໍ່ເຄີຍຫຼຸດຖອຍ ເຫມືອນພຣະຈັນທີ່ຝູງເທວະດາເຮັດໃຫ້ຫວ່າງລົງ. ເຊັ່ນດຽວກັນ ສັດມີຊີວິດທີ່ໄປຮອດໂລກຈັນທຣາດ້ວຍເສັ້ນທາງຄວັນ ເມື່ອກຳລັງບຸນທີ່ໄດ້ເສບສຸກໝົດສິ້ນ ຈະສັ່ນສະເທືອນແລ້ວຕົກກັບສູ່ແຜ່ນດິນ; ແລະເພື່ອເສບຜົນຂອງກຳໃໝ່ ກໍຈະຂຶ້ນໄປອີກຄັ້ງ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຜູ້ຮອດພຣະຈັນບໍ່ພົ້ນຈາກວົງຈອນໄປມາ».

Educational Q&A
Heavenly attainments such as reaching the Moon-world are temporary: when the merit that produced them is exhausted, the soul returns to earth and re-enters the cycle of rebirth. Therefore, such destinations do not constitute liberation from saṃsāra.
Nārada explains a cosmological-ethical point: unlike the Moon, which is described as waning under divine consumption, the Sun is not diminished; and a being who reaches the lunar realm via the ‘path of smoke’ eventually falls back to earth once karmic enjoyment ends, then ascends again through new karma—showing repeated coming and going.
