Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 103: Garuḍa’s Protest, Viṣṇu’s Demonstration, and Counsel Toward Śama
नारदस्त्वार्यकश्चैव कृतकार्यो मुदा युतौ । अभिमजम्मतुरभ्यर्च्य देवराजं महाद्युतिम्ू,नारद और आर्यक दोनों ही कृतकृत्य हो महातेजस्वी देवराजकी अर्चना करके प्रसन्नतापूर्वक अपने-अपने स्थानको चले गये
nāradas tv āryakaś caiva kṛtakāryau mudā yutau | abhimajjamatur abhyarcya devarājaṃ mahādyutim ||
ବୈଶମ୍ପାୟନ କହିଲେ—ନାରଦ ଓ ଆର୍ୟକ ଉଭୟେ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ସିଦ୍ଧ କରି ଆନନ୍ଦରେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହୋଇ, ମହାଦ୍ୟୁତିମାନ ଦେବରାଜ ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ବିଧିପୂର୍ବକ ଅର୍ଚ୍ଚନା କଲେ। ତାଙ୍କୁ ଯଥୋଚିତ ସମ୍ମାନ ଦେଇ ସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟଚିତ୍ତରେ ଉଭୟେ ନିଜ-ନିଜ ଧାମକୁ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାବର୍ତ୍ତନ କଲେ।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights a dharmic closure to action: after fulfilling one’s duty, one should acknowledge higher order and benefactors with reverence and gratitude, then depart without attachment—content in having completed the task properly.
After accomplishing their intended mission, Nārada and Āryaka worship Indra, the radiant king of the gods, and then leave happily, each returning to his respective place—marking the end of an episode and a transition in the story.
