Aśvaśiras / Hayaśiras Narrative: Retrieval of the Vedas
दृश्यते ज्ञानयोगेन आवां च प्रसृतौ तत: । एवं ज्ञात्वा तमात्मानं पूजयाव: सनातनम्
dṛśyate jñānayogena āvāṃ ca prasṛtau tataḥ | evaṃ jñātvā tam ātmānaṃ pūjayāvaḥ sanātanam ||
那罗陀说道：“他可由智瑜伽（jñāna-yoga）而得现见；我二人亦从他而流出。如此了知那自性，我们二人便礼敬供奉那永恒的主宰。”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Supreme Self is not grasped by mere external means but is directly realized through jñāna-yoga (disciplined knowledge and inner discernment). Recognizing the Self as the source from which beings arise naturally culminates in reverent worship—devotion grounded in insight.
Nārada is speaking and points to a realization shared by “we two” (dual): they understand that their own manifestation originates from the eternal Self. On the basis of this knowledge, they respond not with pride but with worship of the सनातन (eternal) परमात्मा.
