नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
इस पृथ्वीपर मृग, पक्षी, हिंसक पशु और दरिद्र मनुष्योंको जब रोग सताता है, तब कौन उनकी चिकित्सा करने जाते हैं? किंतु प्राय: उन्हें रोग होता ही नहीं है ।।
ghorān api durādharṣān nṛpatīn ugratejasaḥ | ākramyādadate rogāḥ paśūn paśugaṇā iva ||
那罗陀说道：“即便是凶猛可怖、似乎不可撼动、以强盛威光炽然燃烧的诸王，也会被种种疾病袭击而受其制伏——正如巨兽猛扑，压倒并制服小兽一般。此教诲昭示：世间的力量、地位与权势并不能赐人免于苦患；故当修习谦卑、克制与达摩，而非以权力自矜。”

Educational Q&A
Power and royal might do not protect one from disease; suffering can subdue even the strongest. Hence one should not be arrogant about strength or status, but live with humility and adherence to dharma.
Nārada uses a vivid simile: as large beasts overpower smaller animals, so diseases can attack and dominate even fierce, hard-to-defeat kings, illustrating the limits of worldly power.
