नारद उवाच । द्यूतं न जानामि न चाश्रयामि ह्यहं तपस्वी शिवकिंकरश्च कथं च मां पृच्छसि राजकन्यके योगीश्वराणां परमं पवित्रे
nārada uvāca | dyūtaṃ na jānāmi na cāśrayāmi hyahaṃ tapasvī śivakiṃkaraśca kathaṃ ca māṃ pṛcchasi rājakanyake yogīśvarāṇāṃ paramaṃ pavitre
ନାରଦ କହିଲେ—ମୁଁ ଦ୍ୟୁତ (ଜୁଆ) ଜାଣେନି, ନ ତାହାର ଆଶ୍ରୟ ନେଉଛି; ମୁଁ ତପସ୍ବୀ ଓ ଶିବଙ୍କ କିଙ୍କର। ହେ ରାଜକନ୍ୟେ, ଯୋଗୀଶ୍ୱରମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ପରମ ପବିତ୍ରେ, ତୁମେ ମୋତେ ଏହା କିପରି ପଚାରୁଛ?
Nārada
Tirtha: Kedāra/Kedāranātha
Type: kshetra
Listener: Girijā (Pārvatī/Satī)
Scene: Nārada, calm and austere, gestures modestly as he declines knowledge of dice, identifying himself as a tapasvī and Śiva’s servant; Girijā listens, Śiva present.
Tapas and devotion to Śiva imply restraint from degrading habits; the saintly model is detachment from vice.
Kedārakhaṇḍa is the textual setting; this verse emphasizes character rather than a named pilgrimage spot.
None explicitly; it highlights the ascetic discipline of not resorting to gambling.
