Śuka’s Origin, Mastery of Śāstra, and Testing at Janaka’s Court
उदारसत्वं सत्वज्ञास्सर्वाः पर्य्यचरंस्तदा । आरणेयस्तु शुद्धात्मा जितक्रोधो जितेंद्रियः ॥ ६७ ॥
udārasatvaṃ satvajñāssarvāḥ paryyacaraṃstadā | āraṇeyastu śuddhātmā jitakrodho jiteṃdriyaḥ || 67 ||
Bấy giờ, tất cả những người thấu hiểu bản tính của sattva đều hầu cận bậc tâm hồn cao quý ấy. Còn Āraṇeya, tâm thanh tịnh, đã chế ngự sân hận và làm chủ các căn.
Narada (narration within the Moksha-Dharma discourse, traditionally framed in dialogue with Sanatkumara and the Kumara sages)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It presents inner purity as the hallmark of Moksha-Dharma: nobility of character, knowledge of sattva, and the concrete disciplines of conquering anger and restraining the senses.
While not naming a deity directly, it lays the ethical foundation for Bhakti: a pure mind and controlled senses make service (paricaryā) steady and devotion free from agitation and anger.
No specific Vedanga is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is yogic-ethical discipline (indriya-nigraha and krodha-jaya) used in Moksha-Dharma as preparation for higher knowledge and devotion.
