नारद-देवमत-संवादः
Nārada–Devamata Dialogue on Prāṇa, Apāna, and Udāna
अन्निर्व देवता: सर्वा इति देवस्प शासनम् | संजायते ब्राह्मणस्य ज्ञानं बुद्धिसमन्वितम्
agnir vai devatāḥ sarvā iti devaspa śāsanam | sañjāyate brāhmaṇasya jñānaṃ buddhisamanvitam ||
Nārada berkata: “Agni sesungguhnya adalah segala dewa”—demikianlah ketetapan berwibawa dalam wahyu ilahi (Veda). Daripada perintah Veda itu, lahirlah pada seorang Brahmana pengetahuan yang disertai daya pertimbangan, yang menuntun akal kepada hakikat tertinggi yang difahami sebagai Agni.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse asserts a Vedic principle that Agni is to be understood as encompassing all deities, and that scriptural injunction (Veda) is the source from which discerning spiritual knowledge arises in a properly trained Brahmin.
Nārada is instructing by citing Vedic authority: he quotes an established doctrinal statement and explains its effect—producing buddhi-guided knowledge in the Brahmin—thereby grounding the discussion in revelation and disciplined learning.
