प्रह्लाद उवाच । नृगो नाम नृपो विप्राः सार्वभौमो बलान्वितः । बुद्धिमान्धृतिमान्दक्षः श्रीमान्सर्वगुणान्वितः
prahlāda uvāca | nṛgo nāma nṛpo viprāḥ sārvabhaumo balānvitaḥ | buddhimāndhṛtimāndakṣaḥ śrīmānsarvaguṇānvitaḥ
普罗诃罗陀说道:“噢婆罗门们,曾有一位名为尼噜伽的国王——为天下共主,具大力,具慧智,心志坚固,才干圆满,福德昌盛,诸德悉备。”
Prahlāda
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Listener: Brāhmaṇas/Ṛṣis
Scene: Prahlāda, serene and authoritative, addresses assembled brāhmaṇas/sages, describing Nṛga as a universal monarch endowed with virtues; the scene foreshadows a moral turn.
Even a highly virtuous ruler is still bound by karma; dharma must be practiced with precision, not only with good intentions.
The broader frame is Dvārakā Māhātmya, praising Kṛṣṇa’s sacred realm and its dharma-teaching narratives.
No specific ritual is stated here; the verse establishes Nṛga’s royal excellence and moral stature.
