Bhāgīratha’s Bringing of the Gaṅgā
सर्वलोकहितासक्ता साधवः परिकीर्तिताः । हरिभक्तिकरं यत्तत्सद्भिश्च परिरञ्जितम् ॥ ३० ॥
sarvalokahitāsaktā sādhavaḥ parikīrtitāḥ | haribhaktikaraṃ yattatsadbhiśca parirañjitam || 30 ||
Bậc hiền (sādhu) được xưng tụng là những người tận tâm vì lợi ích của mọi cõi. Điều gì làm phát khởi bhakti đối với Hari thì được các bậc thiện nhân yêu quý và tán đồng.
Narada (teaching within the Narada Purana dialogue tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It defines true saintliness as universal benevolence and sets Hari-bhakti as the central criterion: whatever increases devotion to Vishnu is what the noble uphold.
Bhakti is presented as the highest purifier and unifier—actions, teachings, and practices are validated when they directly generate devotion to Hari and are endorsed by the sādhus.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is ethical discernment: prefer teachings and practices that measurably cultivate Hari-bhakti and promote sarva-loka-hita.
