अभीषुण ऋतावाहं न्यषीदन्नृमणा अपि । चतुर्विधाद्बाहुलकात्प्रवृत्तेरप्रवृत्तितः ॥ १८ ॥
abhīṣuṇa ṛtāvāhaṃ nyaṣīdannṛmaṇā api | caturvidhādbāhulakātpravṛtterapravṛttitaḥ || 18 ||
ऋतु-प्रवाह، یعنی زمانے کی رفتار کو دیکھ کر بھی دانا لوگ خود کو قابو میں رکھ کر بیٹھ جاتے ہیں؛ کیونکہ عمل (پروِرتّی) اور ترکِ عمل (اپروِرتّی) سے پیدا ہونے والی چار طرح کی حد سے بڑھی ہوئی کثرت و پھیلاؤ کے سبب دل ٹھہر نہیں پاتا۔
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in Moksha-dharma context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: karuna
It teaches discernment and restraint: both compulsive activity and rigid inactivity can generate bondage through proliferating consequences; the wise pause and regulate themselves in view of time’s momentum.
By warning against extremes, it supports steady devotional discipline: regulated living and inner restraint help keep the mind fit for Vishnu-bhakti rather than being scattered by restless doing or prideful withdrawal.
A time-sense (ṛtu/time-flow) relevant to Jyotiṣa-style timing and ritual discipline is implied: knowing the ‘current of time’ supports proper regulation of conduct and observances rather than indiscriminate activity.
