Shloka 8
Satya-lakṣaṇa (The Characteristics and Forms of Truth) | सत्यलक्षणम्
स मया बहुशो भग्नः प्रभञ्जन् वै प्रभञ्जन: । तस्मान्न बिभ्ये देवर्षे क्रुद्धादपि समीरणात्,देवर्षे! इस प्रकार मैंने तोड़-फोड़ करनेवाले वायुकी गतिको अनेक बार रोक दिया है; अतः वह कुपित हो जाय तो भी मुझे उससे भय नहीं है
sa mayā bahuśo bhagnaḥ prabhañjan vai prabhañjanaḥ | tasmān na bibhe devarṣe kruddhād api samīraṇāt ||
نارد نے کہا—اے دیورشی! میں نے بارہا توڑ پھوڑ کرنے والی ہوا—پربھنجن—کی رفتار کو روک کر اسے ناکام کیا ہے۔ اس لیے، اے دیورشی، وہ سمیرن غضبناک بھی ہو جائے تو مجھے اس سے کوئی خوف نہیں۔
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights fearlessness grounded in spiritual power and self-mastery: one who has repeatedly restrained disruptive forces (symbolized by the wind) is not shaken even by their anger. Ethically, it points to steadiness and inner strength rather than intimidation by external turbulence.
Nārada addresses another divine seer and asserts his capability: he has many times checked the destructive motion of the wind (Prabhañjana/Samīraṇa). Hence, even if the wind becomes furious, Nārada claims he has no fear of it.
