Marutta Seeks a Priest: Bṛhaspati’s Refusal and Nārada’s Guidance to Saṃvarta
Chapter 6
व्यास उवाच स तथेति प्रतिश्रुत्य पूजयित्वा च नारदम् | अभ्यनुज्ञाय राजर्षिययौ वाराणसीं पुरीम्
vyāsa uvāca sa tatheti pratiśrutya pūjayitvā ca nāradam | abhyanugñāya rājarṣir yayau vārāṇasīṃ purīm ||
Wika ni Vyāsa: Nang marinig ito, sumang-ayon ang maharlikang rishi na si Marutta, na nagsabing, “Gayon na nga.” Pinarangalan niya si Nārada nang nararapat, nagpaalam nang may pahintulot, at saka naglakbay patungo sa lungsod ng Vārāṇasī.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
A ruler should honor spiritual wisdom, respond with truthful assent, and act with proper etiquette—seeking permission and maintaining humility—before undertaking important actions.
Marutta agrees to Nārada’s words, reveres him, formally takes leave, and departs for Vārāṇasī, indicating a transition to the next stage of the episode.
