Shloka 49
Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)
न बन्धुष्वनुबन्धस्ते न भयेष्वस्ति ते भयम् । पश्यामि त्वां महाभाग तुल्यलोष्टाश्मकाज्चनम्
na bandhuṣv anubandhas te na bhayeṣv asti te bhayam | paśyāmi tvāṃ mahābhāga tulya-loṣṭāśma-kāñcanam ||
ମହାଭାଗ! ବନ୍ଧୁ-ବାନ୍ଧବଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଆପଣଙ୍କର ଆସକ୍ତି ନାହିଁ; ଭୟଦାୟକ ବସ୍ତୁମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ଭୟଭୀତ କରେ ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ଦେଖୁଛି—ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମାଟିର ଢେଲା, ପଥର ଓ ସୁବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ସମାନ।

Educational Q&A
The verse praises vairāgya and steadiness of mind: one who is unattached to family-identity and unshaken by fear sees earth, stone, and gold as equal—signifying freedom from greed, aversion, and possessiveness.
King Janaka addresses a spiritually accomplished person, recognizing signs of inner realization—fearlessness and non-attachment—and commending the sage-like equanimity that treats wealth and worthless objects alike.
