यमसभावर्णनम् (Yamasabhā-varṇanam) — Nārada’s Description of Dharmarāja’s Assembly
न शोको न जरा तसस्यां क्षुत्पिपासे न चाप्रियम् । न च दैन्यं क्लमो वापि प्रतिकूलं न चाप्युत,उसके भीतर न शोक है, न जीर्णता; न भूख लगती है, न प्यास। वहाँ कोई भी अप्रिय घटना नहीं घटित होती। दीनता, थकावट अथवा प्रतिकूलताका तो वहाँ नाम भी नहीं है
na śoko na jarā tasyāṃ kṣutpipāse na cāpriyam | na ca dainyaṃ klamo vāpi pratikūlaṃ na cāpy uta ||
Nārada menggambarkan alam itu bebas sama sekali daripada beban biasa kehidupan berjasad: tiada dukacita, tiada tua; tiada lapar dan tiada dahaga; tiada sesuatu yang menimbulkan rasa tidak senang. Kemiskinan, keletihan, atau apa-apa yang berlawanan—namanya pun tidak wujud di sana.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an ideal state where the causes of human distress—grief, aging, deprivation, and adversity—do not operate, implicitly encouraging detachment from transient worldly conditions and valuing a dharmic life oriented toward higher well-being.
Nārada is describing the qualities of a particular exalted realm/condition, emphasizing its freedom from suffering and negative experiences to convey its superiority to ordinary worldly life.
