Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 30
Śuka’s Yoga-ascent, the Echo of ‘Bhoḥ’, and the Vaikuṇṭha Vision
तत एकाक्षरं नादं भोरित्येवमुदीरयन् । प्रत्याहरज्जगत्सर्वमुञ्चैः स्थावरजंगमम् ॥ ३० ॥
tata ekākṣaraṃ nādaṃ bhorityevamudīrayan | pratyāharajjagatsarvamuñcaiḥ sthāvarajaṃgamam || 30 ||
แล้วเมื่อเปล่งนาทพยางค์เดียวว่า “โภ” เขาก็ร้องก้องดัง ราวกับดึงคืนทั้งจักรวาล—ทั้งสิ่งนิ่งและสิ่งเคลื่อนไหว
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in the Moksha-dharma dialogue)

FAQs
It presents sacred sound (nāda) as a cosmic principle: by a single utterance, the manifested world is “recalled,” pointing to the yogic insight that creation and dissolution are governed by consciousness and vibration.
While framed in yogic language, it supports Bhakti by implying that the Lord’s command/voice and divine sound have sovereign power over the cosmos—encouraging surrender to the Divine source behind all movement and stillness.
It indirectly reflects Śikṣā (phonetics) and the doctrine of nāda: precise utterance and the understanding of sound as a carrier of power (mantra-principle), though no specific ritual or jyotiṣa rule is stated in this verse.
