Nārāyaṇa’s Impartiality, Absorption in Kṛṣṇa, and the Jaya–Vijaya Descent
Prelude to Prahlāda’s History
दृष्ट्वा महाद्भुतं राजा राजसूये महाक्रतौ । वासुदेवे भगवति सायुज्यं चेदिभूभुज: ॥ १४ ॥ तत्रासीनं सुरऋषिं राजा पाण्डुसुत: क्रतौ । पप्रच्छ विस्मितमना मुनीनां शृण्वतामिदम् ॥ १५ ॥
dṛṣṭvā mahādbhutaṁ rājā rājasūye mahā-kratau vāsudeve bhagavati sāyujyaṁ cedibhū-bhujaḥ
在大罗阇苏耶祭中,般度之子尤提士提罗见到:车提王希舒帕罗得“萨尤吉亚”,融入至上主瓦苏戴瓦——圣克里希纳。王惊叹不已,便向在座的天仙圣者那罗陀询问其因;诸牟尼亦皆听闻此问。
Because Yudhiṣṭhira was astonished by the extraordinary event that had occurred at the Rājasūya sacrifice and sought authoritative spiritual clarification from Nārada as the sages listened.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī narrates this verse, describing the scene at the Rājasūya-yajña where King Yudhiṣṭhira addresses the divine sage Nārada Muni.
When faced with confusing or astonishing events, seek guidance from qualified spiritual teachers and hear in the company of sincere devotees, rather than relying on speculation.
