श्रीशुक उवाच राजदूते ब्रुवत्येवं देवर्षि: परमद्युति: । बिभ्रत्पिङ्गजटाभारं प्रादुरासीद् यथा रवि: ॥ ३२ ॥
śrī-śuka uvāca rāja-dūte bruvaty evaṁ devarṣiḥ parama-dyutiḥ bibhrat piṅga-jaṭā-bhāraṁ prādurāsīd yathā raviḥ
Sinabi ni Śukadeva: Habang nagsasalita nang gayon ang sugo ng mga hari, biglang lumitaw si Nārada, ang rishi ng mga deva na lubhang maningning. Taglay ang kumpol ng ginintuang jata sa ulo, pumasok siya na parang makinang na araw.
