मत्पितुर्वाजिनाक्रांता तत्तेजः परिरंजिता । तस्माद्गच्छामहे सर्वे संमुखं ह्यवनीपतेः ॥ १२ ॥
matpiturvājinākrāṃtā tattejaḥ pariraṃjitā | tasmādgacchāmahe sarve saṃmukhaṃ hyavanīpateḥ || 12 ||
నా తండ్రి గుర్రపు కాళ్లచేత త్రొక్కబడినదీ, దాని తేజస్సుతో రంజింపబడినదీ ఈ భూమి. అందువల్ల మనమందరం భూపతిరాజు సమక్షానికి వెళ్లి దర్శనం చేసుకుందాం.

FAQs
The verse highlights how a visible act (being trampled and marked by “tejas”) becomes a moral cause for seeking rightful authority—approaching the king—reflecting the Purana’s theme that karma and responsibility should be addressed through dharmic channels.
Direct bhakti instruction is not explicit here; instead, it supports bhakti indirectly by emphasizing dharma—truthful reporting and accountability—which the Narada Purana treats as a foundation for pure devotion to Vishnu.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is taught in this line; it is primarily narrative and dharma-oriented, using key terms like tejas and avanipati in their classical senses.
