Inquiry into Karma, Knowledge, Fate, and Nature
उपास्यो नारदो बाढं वाचि नास्य व्यतिक्रम: । कामतो यदि वा लोभात् तस्मात् सर्वत्र पूजित:
upāsyo nārado bāḍhaṃ vāci nāsya vyatikramaḥ | kāmato yadi vā lobhāt tasmāt sarvatra pūjitaḥ ||
वायू म्हणाला—नारद खरोखरच उपास्य आहेत. इच्छा वा लोभामुळेही ते आपल्या वचनापासून कधी ढळत नाहीत; म्हणूनच त्यांचा सर्वत्र सन्मान होतो.
