नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
इस शरीरको सूर्यलोकमें छोड़कर मैं ऋषियोंके साथ सूर्यदेवके अत्यन्त दुःसह तेजमें प्रवेश कर जाऊँगा ।।
idaṁ śarīraṁ sūryaloke tyaktvāhaṁ ṛṣibhiḥ sārdhaṁ sūryadevasya atyanta-duḥsaha-tejasi praviśyāmi. āpucchāmi nagān nāgān girim urvī diśo divam devadānavagandharvān piśācoragarākṣasān.
那罗陀说道：“我将把此身留在日界，与诸圣仙一同进入日神那全然难以承受的炽烈光辉。因此我今告别——请求允准、致以辞行——于群山与那伽，于大峰与大地，于诸方与穹天；并向诸天、达那婆、乾闼婆、毗舍遮、蛇类诸众与罗刹致别。”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights detachment from the physical body and reverence toward the entire cosmos. Even in departing for a higher, fiery spiritual state (the Sun’s radiance), one acts with humility—seeking leave from all orders of beings—suggesting that liberation or ascent should be accompanied by courtesy, non-contempt, and awareness of cosmic interdependence.
Nārada declares his intention to abandon the body in Sūryaloka and enter the Sun-god’s unbearable brilliance along with the ṛṣis. Before doing so, he formally bids farewell to the world—mountains, earth, directions, heaven, and a wide range of divine and non-divine beings—marking a solemn transition from embodied existence to a higher realm.
