Nāradasya Rājadharma-praśnāḥ
Nārada’s Examination of Royal Ethics
कच्चित् ते सफला वेदा: कच्चित् ते सफलं धनम् । कच्चित् ते सफला दारा: कच्चित् ते सफलं श्रुतम्
kaccit te saphalā vedāḥ kaccit te saphalaṃ dhanam | kaccit te saphalā dārāḥ kaccit te saphalaṃ śrutam ||
那罗陀说道：“你的吠陀真在结果吗？你的财富是否用在应当之处？你的婚姻与家室是否有成？你所闻所学的学问，是否正在显出功效？”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
That the true measure of Veda-study, wealth, marriage/household life, and learning is their ‘fruit’—their dharmic outcome in conduct, generosity, restraint, and right living—rather than mere possession or status.
Nārada addresses the listener with a traditional set of probing ‘kaccit’ questions, assessing whether the person’s key life-pillars—sacred knowledge, resources, domestic life, and education—are being properly fulfilled and yielding righteous results.
