Nārāyaṇasya Guhya-nāmāni Niruktāni (Etymologies of Nārāyaṇa’s Secret Epithets) / नारायणस्य गुह्यनामानि निरुक्तानि
यदा सर्व परित्यज्य गन्तव्यमवशेन ते । अनर्थे किं प्रसक्तस्त्वं स्वमर्थ नानुतिष्ठसि
yadā sarvaṃ parityajya gantavyam avaśena te | anarthe kiṃ prasaktas tvaṃ svam arthaṃ nānutiṣṭhasi ||
သင်သည် အလိုမရှိဘဲ အရာအားလုံးကို စွန့်ပစ်ကာ ဤနေရာမှ ထွက်ခွာရမည့်အခါ၊ အကျိုးမဲ့သော ဤလောက၌ အဘယ်ကြောင့် စွဲလမ်းနေသနည်း။ မိမိ၏ အကျိုးစစ်—မောက္ခသို့ ဦးတည်သော လမ်းစဉ်ကို အဘယ်ကြောင့် မကျင့်သုံးသနည်း။
नारद उवाच
Since departure from life is inevitable and involuntary, attachment to worldly, ultimately fruitless pursuits is irrational; one should instead cultivate the ‘true good’—spiritual practice aimed at liberation (mokṣa).
Nārada admonishes the listener with a reflective question, contrasting unavoidable death and abandonment of all possessions with the listener’s present attachment, urging a turn toward liberative discipline rather than transient gains.
