Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 103: Garuḍa’s Protest, Viṣṇu’s Demonstration, and Counsel Toward Śama
सो<5यं मया च सहितो नारदेन च पन्नग: । त्रिलोकेशं सुरपतिं गत्वा पश्यतु वासवम्,“अतः यह नागकुमार मेरे और नारदजीके साथ त्रिलोकीनाथ देवराज इन्द्रके पास चलकर उनका दर्शन करे
so 'yaṃ mayā ca sahito nāradena ca pannagaḥ | trilokeśaṃ surapatiṃ gatvā paśyatu vāsavam ||
കണ്വൻ പറഞ്ഞു—“ഈ പന്നഗരാജകുമാരൻ എന്റെ കൂടെയും നാരദന്റെ കൂടെയും ചേർന്ന് ത്രിലോകേശൻ, സുരപതി വാസവൻ (ഇന്ദ്രൻ) അടുക്കൽ ചെന്നു അദ്ദേഹത്തെ ദർശിക്കട്ടെ.”

Educational Q&A
Approaching supreme authority should be done with humility and proper guidance. The nāga is escorted by Kaṇva and Nārada, suggesting that access to power (Indra) is ethically mediated through wisdom, restraint, and qualified mentors.
Kaṇva instructs that the serpent-prince should accompany him and Nārada to Indra, the ruler of the gods, in order to meet and behold him—setting up a formal audience with the divine king.
