Matsya-avatāra: The Lord as Fish Saves the Vedas and Guides Satyavrata
इत्थमादिश्य राजानं हरिरन्तरधीयत । सोऽन्ववैक्षत तं कालं यं हृषीकेश आदिशत् ॥ ३९ ॥
ittham ādiśya rājānaṁ harir antaradhīyata so ’nvavaikṣata taṁ kālaṁ yaṁ hṛṣīkeśa ādiśat
یوں بادشاہ کو ہدایت دے کر بھگوان ہری فوراً غائب ہو گئے۔ پھر راجا ستیہ ورت اُس وقت کے انتظار میں لگ گیا جس کی ہریشیکیش نے خبر دی تھی۔
It shows that after receiving the Lord’s guidance, a devotee should remain steady and attentive—waiting for the appointed time with faith, rather than acting impulsively.
After delivering the essential direction, the Lord withdrew from direct vision so the king could demonstrate obedience and preparedness, relying on the instruction rather than constant visible reassurance.
Do your duty and preparations sincerely, but accept timing as guided by the Lord—cultivating patience, steadiness, and trust instead of anxiety and haste.
