Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 103: Garuḍa’s Protest, Viṣṇu’s Demonstration, and Counsel Toward Śama
सो<5यं मया च सहितो नारदेन च पन्नग: । त्रिलोकेशं सुरपतिं गत्वा पश्यतु वासवम्,“अतः यह नागकुमार मेरे और नारदजीके साथ त्रिलोकीनाथ देवराज इन्द्रके पास चलकर उनका दर्शन करे
so 'yaṃ mayā ca sahito nāradena ca pannagaḥ | trilokeśaṃ surapatiṃ gatvā paśyatu vāsavam ||
Sabi ni Kaṇva: “Kaya’t hayaang ang prinsipe ng mga nāga na ito, na kasama ako at si Nārada, ay magtungo sa Panginoon ng tatlong daigdig—ang hari ng mga diyos—upang masilayan si Vāsava (Indra).”
कण्व उवाच
Educational Q&A
Approaching supreme authority should be done with humility and proper guidance. The nāga is escorted by Kaṇva and Nārada, suggesting that access to power (Indra) is ethically mediated through wisdom, restraint, and qualified mentors.
Kaṇva instructs that the serpent-prince should accompany him and Nārada to Indra, the ruler of the gods, in order to meet and behold him—setting up a formal audience with the divine king.
