यमसभावर्णनम् (Yamasabhā-varṇanam) — Nārada’s Description of Dharmarāja’s Assembly
न शोको न जरा तसस्यां क्षुत्पिपासे न चाप्रियम् । न च दैन्यं क्लमो वापि प्रतिकूलं न चाप्युत
na śoko na jarā tasyāṃ kṣutpipāse na cāpriyam | na ca dainyaṃ klamo vāpi pratikūlaṃ na cāpy uta ||
Inilarawan ni Nārada ang kahariang iyon na lubos na malaya sa karaniwang pasanin ng buhay na may katawan: walang dalamhati, walang pagtanda; walang gutom at walang uhaw; at walang anumang nagdudulot ng di-kasiyahan. Wala roon ang karukhaan, pagod, o anumang salungat—ni pangalan man lamang.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an ideal state where the causes of human distress—grief, aging, deprivation, and adversity—do not operate, implicitly encouraging detachment from transient worldly conditions and valuing a dharmic life oriented toward higher well-being.
Nārada is describing the qualities of a particular exalted realm/condition, emphasizing its freedom from suffering and negative experiences to convey its superiority to ordinary worldly life.
