इह चैवागतस्तेन विसृष्ट: परमात्मना । एवं मे भगवान् देव: स्वयमाख्यातवान् हरि: । आसिष्ये तत्परो भूत्वा युवाभ्यां सह नित्यश:
iha caivāgatastena visṛṣṭaḥ paramātmanā | evaṃ me bhagavān devaḥ svayam ākhyātavān hariḥ | āsiṣye tatparo bhūtvā yuvābhyāṃ saha nityaśaḥ ||
“Também vim aqui, enviado por esse Ser Supremo. Assim me declarou pessoalmente o Bem-aventurado Senhor, o divino Hari. Por isso, inteiramente devotado ao seu culto, habitarei aqui continuamente em vossa companhia.”

Educational Q&A
True dharmic life is guided by divine purpose and expressed as steady devotion: one accepts the Lord’s commission, remains intent on worship, and chooses continual holy companionship as a form of service.
Nārada explains that his arrival is not accidental: he has been sent by the Supreme Lord. He reports that Hari personally instructed him, and he resolves to stay there permanently with the two addressed persons, devoted to the Lord’s worship.
