शंकेऽस्य द्वादशेवर्षे प्रत्यूहो विद्युदग्नितः । इत्युक्त्वा नारदो धीमान्स जगाम यथागतम्
śaṃke'sya dvādaśevarṣe pratyūho vidyudagnitaḥ | ityuktvā nārado dhīmānsa jagāma yathāgatam
“Pinaghihinalaan ko na sa kaniyang ikalabindalawang taon ay magkakaroon ng hadlang na mula sa kidlat at apoy.” Pagkasabi nito, ang marunong na si Nārada ay lumisan, gaya ng kaniyang pagdating.
Nārada
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Nārada, veena in hand, delivering a final warning about lightning and fire, then departing along a luminous path; storm clouds hinted at in the sky, a subtle flash in the distance.
Saintly counsel warns of coming dangers; heedful action and protective dharma are implied.
The narrative belongs to Kāśī’s sacred cycle (Kāśīkhaṇḍa), though no tīrtha is named in this specific warning.
No explicit ritual is prescribed; it is a prognostic warning (pratyūha) to prompt safeguarding.
