Adhyāya 325: Nārada in Śvetadvīpa—Stotra to the Nirguṇa Mahātman
उदारसत्त्वं सत्त्वज्ञा: स्त्रिय: पर्यचरंस्तथा । उस समय वे हँसती, गाती तथा नाना प्रकारकी सुन्दर क्रीड़ाएँ करती थीं। मनके भावको समझनेवाली वे सुन्दरियाँ उन उदारचित्त शुकदेवजीकी सब प्रकारसे सेवा करने लगीं
udārasattvaṃ sattvajñāḥ striyaḥ paryacaraṃs tathā |
Wika ni Bhishma: Ang mga babaeng marunong kumilala sa likas na kilos ng loob ay naglingkod sa kanya. Noon ay sila’y tumatawa, umaawit, at gumagawa ng sari-saring maririkit na libangan; at dahil nauunawaan nila ang galaw ng isipan, ang mga kagandahang iyon ay naghandog ng lahat ng uri ng paglilingkod sa marangal na si Śukadeva.

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights discernment and propriety in service: those who understand another’s inner disposition (sattva) can serve in ways that are fitting, and the emphasis rests on the noble character (udārasattva) of the sage who remains the ethical center of the scene.
Bhīṣma describes women attending upon Śukadeva—laughing, singing, and engaging in refined amusements—while still rendering him various forms of service, suggesting a social setting where the sage is honored and cared for by perceptive attendants.
