Nārada’s Protection of Kayādhu and Prahlāda’s Womb-Instructions: Ātma-tattva and the Path of Bhakti
तथेत्यवात्सीद्देवर्षेरन्तिके साकुतोभया । यावद्दैत्यपतिर्घोरात्तपसो न न्यवर्तत ॥ १३ ॥
tathety avātsīd devarṣer antike sākuto-bhayā yāvad daitya-patir ghorāt tapaso na nyavartata
Sau khi chấp nhận lời chỉ dạy của Devarṣi Nārada, mẹ ta ở gần ngài, không sợ hãi từ bất cứ phương nào, cho đến khi vua Daitya—cha ta—thoát khỏi khổ hạnh nghiêm khắc ấy.
Because Nārada offered her shelter and protection, and she remained there fearlessly until Hiraṇyakaśipu returned from his fierce austerities.
It shows that proximity to a great sage gives genuine protection and fearlessness, even amid danger and uncertainty.
Seek guidance and shelter in authentic spiritual teachers and devotional communities; their association steadies the mind and reduces fear during difficult periods.
