Shloka 31
Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
निवृत्तो नारदो राजंस्तरसा मेरुमागमत् | हृदयेनोद्वहन् भारं यदुक्ते परमात्मना
nivṛtto nārado rājan tarasā merum āgamat | hṛdayenodvahan bhāraṁ yad ukte paramātmanā ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: “Tâu Đại vương, Nārada quay về và mau chóng đến núi Meru. Trong tim, ngài mang lấy sức nặng của trọng trách do Đấng Tối Thượng (Paramātman) phó thác.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
That divine counsel entails moral responsibility: Nārada carries the Lord’s instruction as a ‘burden’ in the heart, implying conscientious commitment, not casual transmission.
After completing a divine audience/mission (implied by the context), Nārada returns and quickly arrives at Mount Meru, inwardly holding the weight of what the Supreme Self has instructed him to accomplish.
