Shloka 26
पितृयज्ञे नारायणतत्त्वम् — The Nārāyaṇa Grounding of Ancestral Offerings
सोअन्तरिक्षं महीं चैव सशैलवनकाननाम् । विलोकयामास तदा सरांसि सरितस्तथा,आकाश, पर्वत, वन और काननोंसहित पृथ्वी एवं सरोवरों और सरिताओंकी ओर भी उन्होंने दृष्टि डाली
so 'ntarikṣaṃ mahīṃ caiva saśailavanakānanām | vilokayāmāsa tadā sarāṃsi saritas tathā ||
于是，舒迦（Śuka）放眼望向空际与大地——连同其山岳、森林与林苑——又注目于湖泊与奔流的江河。此景彰显一种沉思而周遍的观照：世界被审视为自然的一体之域，召唤的是离著与明辨，而非占有之心。

The verse highlights a contemplative, panoramic seeing of the world—sky, earth, mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers—suggesting a mind trained to observe without grasping, a foundation for peace (śānti) and renunciant discernment.
Śuka narrates that the person in focus (contextually, a sage-like figure) surveys the entire landscape—mid-air and earth with its natural features—indicating a moment of reflective observation rather than action.
