Description of Brahmā’s Assembly and the Eminence of Hariścandra
तथा तैरुपयातैश्व प्रतियद्धिश्च भारत । आकुला सा सभा तात भवति सम सुखप्रदा,तात भारत! इस प्रकार वहाँ आने-जानेवाले लोगोंसे भरी हुई वह सभा बड़ी सुखदायिनी जान पड़ती है
tathā tair upayātaiś ca pratiyaddhiś ca bhārata | ākulā sā sabhā tāta bhavati sā sukha-pradā ||
Nārada nói: “Hỡi Bhārata, khi người người liên tục đến rồi đi, đại sảnh ấy trở nên náo nhiệt, đông đúc; và, con ạ, nó hiện ra thật đáng ưa—ban sự an ổn và niềm vui cho những ai có mặt.”

Educational Q&A
A well-ordered royal court is not merely a building but a living institution: when it is frequented by people—visitors, envoys, and citizens—it becomes a source of public well-being, reflecting prosperity, accessibility, and good governance.
Nārada is describing the nature of the sabhā (assembly hall). He notes that because people are constantly coming and going, the hall is full of activity and therefore feels pleasant and happiness-giving.
