Shloka 352
इन्द्रके पूछनेपर द्विजश्रेष्ठ नारदने उन्हें जैसे और जिस ढंगसे वह कथा कही थी, वैसे ही मैं भी कहूँगा। तुम भी मेरी कही हुई उस कथाको ध्यान देकर सुनो ।।

毗湿摩说道：“因陀罗发问时，那罗陀——最胜的婆罗门——便依事情本来之经过、并以其所述之法，向他讲了那段故事。同样地，我也将如此叙说。你也当专心谛听我所讲的这则故事。”

Educational Q&A

Bhishma introduces an upcoming instructive tale: Narada previously narrated it to Indra in response to a question, and Bhishma now promises to recount the same story in the same manner, urging the listener to hear it attentively.
