नागैः सह ब्राह्मणस्य अतिथिधर्म-व्रतसंवादः | The Brahmin’s Vow and the Nāgas’ Hospitality Appeal
तस्मादुत्तिष्ठते विप्र देवाद् विश्वभुवः पते: । क्षमा क्षमावतां श्रेष्ठ यया भूमिस्तु युज्यते,विप्रवर! क्षमाशीलोंमें श्रेष्ठ नारद! विश्वविधाता ब्रह्माजीके भी पति उन परमेश्वरसे ही क्षमाकी उत्पत्ति हुई है, जिससे पृथ्वीका संयोग होता है
tasmād uttiṣṭhate vipra devād viśvabhuvaḥ pateḥ | kṣamā kṣamāvatāṃ śreṣṭha yayā bhūmis tu yujyate ||
Нарада сказал: «Потому, о брахман, восстань. Прощение исходит от того Божественного Владыки, который есть Господь даже над Творцом вселенной. О лучший из прощающих, прощением держится земля, и согласие между существами становится возможным».
नारद उवाच
Forgiveness (kṣamā) is presented as a divine principle originating from the Supreme Lord and as a force that sustains the world; therefore one should rise above anger and practice forbearance as a foundation of dharma and social stability.
Nārada exhorts a brahmin interlocutor to ‘rise up’—to adopt a higher moral stance—and grounds his counsel in theology: even the creator (Brahmā) has a lord, and from that supreme source forgiveness arises, by which the earth and human relations remain joined and workable.
