Marutta Seeks a Priest: Bṛhaspati’s Refusal and Nārada’s Guidance to Saṃvarta
Chapter 6
व्यास उवाच स तथेति प्रतिश्रुत्य पूजयित्वा च नारदम् | अभ्यनुज्ञाय राजर्षिययौ वाराणसीं पुरीम्,व्यासजी कहते हैं--राजन! यह सुनकर राजर्षि मरुत्तने “बहुत अच्छा" कहकर नारदजीकी भूरि-भूरि प्रशंसा की और उनसे जानेकी आज्ञा ले वे वाराणसीपुरीकी ओर चल दिये
vyāsa uvāca sa tatheti pratiśrutya pūjayitvā ca nāradam | abhyanugñāya rājarṣir yayau vārāṇasīṃ purīm ||
Vyāsa nói: Nghe vậy, bậc vương hiền Marutta đáp: “Xin cứ như thế.” Ông kính lễ Nārada đúng phép, xin phép cáo từ, rồi lên đường hướng về thành Vārāṇasī.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
A ruler should honor spiritual wisdom, respond with truthful assent, and act with proper etiquette—seeking permission and maintaining humility—before undertaking important actions.
Marutta agrees to Nārada’s words, reveres him, formally takes leave, and departs for Vārāṇasī, indicating a transition to the next stage of the episode.
