अग्राह्य-ज्ञातिसंबन्धमण्डल-विवेचनम् / Managing Unreadable Kinship Networks: Vāsudeva–Nārada on Cohesion
अर्थहेतोहि कामाद् वा वाचा बीभत्सयापि वा । आत्मना प्राप्तमैश्वर्यमन्यत्र प्रतिपादितम्,आपने स्वयं जिस ऐश्वर्यको प्राप्त किया था, उसे किसी प्रयोजनवश या स्वेच्छासे अथवा कटुवचनसे डरकर दूसरेको दे दिया
artha-hetoḥ hi kāmād vā vācā bībhatsayāpi vā | ātmanā prāptam aiśvaryam anyatra pratipāditam ||
那罗陀说道：“纵然为求利、为欲望，乃至因畏惧粗鄙而刺耳的言辞，也不应将自己凭一己之力所得的王权与昌盛转交他人。以此等动机把自得之势拱手他处，乃是德行之失，亦是坚忍之坠。”

Educational Q&A
Do not surrender or transfer authority and prosperity that you have rightfully attained through your own effort merely for gain, desire, or intimidation by harsh speech; dharma requires firmness and responsible stewardship of power.
Nārada is instructing on proper conduct regarding rulership and power, warning against giving away one’s acquired sovereignty to others under selfish motives or out of fear, emphasizing ethical stability in governance.
