Shloka 15
Satya-lakṣaṇa (The Characteristics and Forms of Truth) | सत्यलक्षणम्
मम रोष: समुत्पन्नस्त्वय्येवं सम्प्रभाषति । ब्रवीम्येष स्वयं वायोस्तव दुर्भाषितं बहु
mama roṣaḥ samutpannastvayy evaṁ samprabhāṣati | bravīmyeṣa svayaṁ vāyostava durbhāṣitaṁ bahu ||
Nārada nói: “Cách ngươi ăn nói như thế đã khơi dậy cơn giận trong ta. Vì vậy, chính ta sẽ đến thưa với Vāyu về những lời thô bạo và bất kính mà ngươi đã buông ra.”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores accountability for speech: harsh or improper words (durbhāṣita) provoke conflict and invite censure. Ethical conduct includes restraint in speech and awareness that one’s words may be reported to higher authorities or elders for judgment.
Nārada, angered by the listener’s manner of speaking, declares that he will personally convey those offensive words to Vāyu, indicating a move from private admonition to formal complaint before a respected divine authority.
