Gālava’s Eastern Ascent with Garuḍa; Counsel on Kāla and Upāya (उद्योगपर्व, अध्याय ११०)
न स दृश्यो मुनिगणैस्तथा देवै: सवासवै: । गन्धर्वयक्षसिद्धिर्वा नरनारायणादूृते,वे भगवान् नर और नारायणके सिवा और किसीकी दृष्टिमें नहीं आते। समस्त मुनिगण, गन्धर्व, यक्ष, सिद्ध अथवा देवताओंसहित इन्द्र भी उनका दर्शन नहीं कर पाते हैं
na sa dṛśyo munigaṇais tathā devaiḥ savāsavaiḥ | gandharvayakṣasiddhir vā naranārāyaṇād ṛte ||
优帕尔那说道:“他不为诸牟尼众所见,甚至诸天连同因陀罗亦不能得见。乾闼婆、夜叉、悉地者也无法瞻仰他——唯有那罗与那罗延,这位吉祥的世尊例外。故其临在超越寻常天界之识见,唯最高的、证悟的神圣之观方能及之。”
युपर्ण उवाच
The verse teaches that the highest divine reality is not automatically accessible even to exalted beings (sages, gods, Indra). True ‘darśana’ depends on spiritual qualification and divine proximity—here symbolized by Nara and Nārāyaṇa—highlighting humility and the limits of mere status or power.
Yuparṇa describes an extraordinary being whose presence cannot be perceived by common celestial classes (devas, Gandharvas, Yakṣas, Siddhas) and not even by Indra, emphasizing that only Nara and Nārāyaṇa are capable of beholding him, thereby elevating their unique spiritual authority.
