Brāhmaṇa-pūjā, Haviḥ-dāna, and the Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī Saṃvāda
Chapter 34
मातापित्रोर्गुरुषु च सम्यग् वर्तन्ति ये सदा । यथा त्वं वृष्णिशार्दटूलेत्युक्त्वैवे विरराम सः
mātāpitrorguruṣu ca samyag vartanti ye sadā | yathā tvaṃ vṛṣṇiśārdūlety uktvaiva virarāma saḥ ||
نارد نے کہا—اے وِرِشنیوں کے شیر! جو لوگ ہمیشہ ماں باپ اور گرو (استاد) کے ساتھ درست اور حق کے مطابق برتاؤ کرتے ہیں، وہ بھی تمہاری ہی طرح مصیبتوں کو پار کر جاتے ہیں۔ یہ کہہ کر نارد خاموش ہو گئے۔

Educational Q&A
Steady, righteous conduct toward one’s parents and one’s teachers is a central dharmic duty; such integrity becomes a means to overcome संकट (danger, distress) and pass safely through adversity.
Nārada addresses a prominent Vṛṣṇi hero with an honorific epithet (“tiger among the Vṛṣṇis”), praises the model of proper conduct toward parents and gurus, states its protective power in crises, and then concludes his speech by falling silent.
