नारद उवाच । षड्विंशद्गुणसंपन्नो राजा राज्यं करोति च । स राज्यफलमाप्नोति शृणु तत्कथयाम्यहम्
nārada uvāca | ṣaḍviṃśadguṇasaṃpanno rājā rājyaṃ karoti ca | sa rājyaphalamāpnoti śṛṇu tatkathayāmyaham
Nārada disse: O rei dotado de vinte e seis qualidades sustenta de fato a realeza. Ele alcança os frutos do governo segundo o dharma. Ouve—agora eu as descreverei.
Nārada
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra (within Prabhāsa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Bali
Scene: Nārada begins a formal enumeration: he raises a hand in teaching gesture, Bali listens; a scroll or palm-leaf list symbolizes the ‘twenty-six qualities’.

The teaching is embedded in the Vastrāpatha-kṣetra Māhātmya of Prabhāsa, connecting ethical kingship with sacred geography context.
None directly; it introduces a list of virtues as an ethical discipline.
