Wika ni Nārada: “Sa mismong bulwagang iyon, laging naroroon ang kagalang-galang na diyosang si Lakṣmī; naroon din si Nalakūbara. Ako man ay paulit-ulit na dumarating doon, at marami pang iba na tulad ko ang gayundin ay nagpapakita roon.”

Educational Q&A
Prosperity and grandeur are portrayed as enduring when aligned with auspicious divine presence (Lakṣmī) and the attendance of elevated beings; splendor is not only wealth but also sanctified order and merit.
Nārada describes the extraordinary nature of the sabhā by stating that Lakṣmī is constantly there, along with Nalakūbara, and that he himself and many similar celestial visitors frequently appear in that hall.
