Shloka 5
नागैः सह ब्राह्मणस्य अतिथिधर्म-व्रतसंवादः | The Brahmin’s Vow and the Nāgas’ Hospitality Appeal
या हि सूर्यसहस्रस्य समस्तस्य भवेद् झद्युतिः । स्थानस्य सा भवेत् तस्य स्वयं तेन विराजता
yā hi sūryasahasrasya samastasya bhaved jadyutiḥ | sthānasya sā bhavet tasya svayaṃ tena virājatā ||
Nārada disse: “O fulgor que surgiria se mil sóis fossem reunidos—tal é o esplendor desse próprio lugar, pois ele é iluminado pelo Senhor em pessoa, ali sentado.”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the highest splendor is the sanctifying radiance of the Divine presence: a place becomes supremely luminous and venerable not by external light, but because the Lord Himself abides there.
Nārada is describing the extraordinary brilliance of the Lord’s abode or seat, comparing it to the combined radiance of a thousand suns to convey overwhelming, transcendent majesty.
