Vipula’s Yogic Protection of the Guru’s Household (विपुलस्य योगरक्षा / Vipulasya Yogarakṣā)
नारद उवाच न त्वामविषये भद्ठे नियोक्ष्यामि कथंचन । स्त्रीणां स्वभावमिच्छामि त्वत्त: श्रोतुं वरानने,नारदजीने कहा--भद्रे! मैं तुम्हें ऐसी बात बतानेके लिये नहीं कहूँगा जो कहने योग्य न हो; अथवा तुम्हारा विषय न हो। सुमुखि! मैं तुम्हारे मुँहसे स्त्रियोंक स्वभावका वर्णन सुनना चाहता हूँ
nārada uvāca | na tvām aviṣaye bhadre niyokṣyāmi kathaṃcana | strīṇāṃ svabhāvam icchāmi tvattaḥ śrotuṃ varānane ||
नारद उवाच—न त्वामविषये भद्रे नियोक्ष्यामि कथंचन । स्त्रीणां स्वभावमिच्छामि त्वत्तः श्रोतुं वरानने ॥
नारद उवाच
The verse frames ethical inquiry: Nārada emphasizes propriety (not urging speech on an improper or irrelevant topic) and seeks testimony directly from the addressed woman, suggesting that discussions of conduct and nature should be approached with restraint, relevance, and respect for the speaker’s domain.
Nārada addresses a woman respectfully (bhadre, varānane) and states he will not compel her to speak on something unsuitable; instead, he requests that she describe the nature/disposition of women, setting up a didactic dialogue.
