Nārāyaṇa’s Impartiality, Absorption in Kṛṣṇa, and the Jaya–Vijaya Descent
Prelude to Prahlāda’s History
श्रीनारद उवाच एकदा ब्रह्मण: पुत्रा विष्णुलोकं यदृच्छया । सनन्दनादयो जग्मुश्चरन्तो भुवनत्रयम् ॥ ३६ ॥
śrī-nārada uvāca ekadā brahmaṇaḥ putrā viṣṇu-lokaṁ yadṛcchayā sanandanādayo jagmuś caranto bhuvana-trayam
Великий мудрец Нарада сказал: Однажды четыре сына Брахмы — Санака, Санандана, Санатана и Санат-кумара — странствуя по трём мирам, случайно пришли в Вишнулоку.
This verse says they reached Viṣṇu’s abode while wandering the three worlds, “yadṛcchayā”—by providence—indicating the Lord’s arrangement behind their journey.
Nārada Muni is speaking, narrating sacred history within the discussion that frames Canto 7, Chapter 1.
It teaches humility and trust that the Lord can arrange transformative encounters and spiritual opportunities beyond our planning—so one should stay receptive and steady in devotion.
