Śānti-parva Adhyāya 30: Nārada–Parvata Samaya-bhaṅga, Śāpa, and the Marriage of Sukumārī
हवि:पवित्रभोज्येन देवभोज्येन चैव हि । नारदो मातुलश्चैव भागिनेयश्व पर्वत:,वे यहाँ पवित्र हविष्य तथा देवताओंके भोजन करनेयोग्य पदार्थ खाकर रहते थे। नारदजी मामा हैं और पर्वत इनके भानजे हैं
haviḥpavitrabhojyena devabhojyena caiva hi | nārado mātulaś caiva bhāgineyaś ca parvataḥ ||
Mereka hidup dengan menikmati havis—persembahan suci—serta makanan yang layak dipersembahkan kepada para dewa: rezeki yang murni dan telah disucikan. Dalam kisah ini, Nārada disebut sebagai bapa saudara sebelah ibu, dan Parvata sebagai anak saudara, menandakan ikatan kekeluargaan mereka di samping cara hidup pertapaan yang bersih menurut tata upacara.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic discipline through purity in consumption: living on sanctified offerings and food suitable for divine offering symbolizes restraint, reverence, and ethical alignment of daily life with sacred duty.
Kṛṣṇa describes a setting where individuals sustain themselves on consecrated, ritually pure food, and he notes the relationship between the sages: Nārada is the maternal uncle and Parvata is the nephew, situating them within a familial and ascetic context.
