नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
व्यथितस्य विधित्साभिस्ताम्यतो जीवितैषिण: । अवशस्य विनाशाय शरीरमपकृष्यते,तृष्णासे व्यथित, दुखी एवं विवश होकर जीनेकी इच्छा रखनेवाले मनुष्यका शरीर विनाशकी ओर ही खिंचता चला जाता है
vyathitasya vidhitsābhis tāmyato jīvitaiṣiṇaḥ | avaśasya vināśāya śarīram apakṛṣyate ||
နာရဒ မိန့်တော်မူသည်– ဆန္ဒတဏှာနှင့် မငြိမ်မသက်သော အလိုဆန္ဒတို့ကြောင့် နာကျင်နှိပ်စက်ခံရသူ၊ ပင်ပန်းနွမ်းနယ်နေသော်လည်း အသက်ရှင်လိုစိတ်ကို မလွှတ်နိုင်သူ၏ ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာသည် မတတ်သာဘဲ ပျက်စီးခြင်းသို့ ဆွဲခေါ်ခံရ၏။
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Craving-driven agitation weakens a person from within; when one becomes powerless under desire, the body and life-force decline and move toward ruin. The ethical lesson is to cultivate restraint and inner steadiness rather than being driven by compulsive wanting.
Nārada is instructing his listener in a reflective, didactic mode typical of Śānti Parva, describing the psychological condition of a desire-tormented person and its consequence: despite wanting to live, such a person is helplessly carried toward destruction by the very forces of craving and distress.
