Mudrc Maitreya pokračoval: Když velký světec Nārada Muni vyslechl Dhruvu Mahārāje, slitoval se nad ním, a aby projevil svou bezpříčinnou milost, dal mu znamenitou radu.

Význam

Since the great sage Nārada is the foremost spiritual master, naturally his only activity is to bestow the greatest benefit upon whomever he meets. Dhruva Mahārāja, however, was a child, and so his demand was also that of a playful child. Still, the great sage became compassionate toward him, and for his welfare he spoke the following verses.

Velký mudrc Nārada je nejvyšším duchovním mistrem, a jeho jedinou činností je tedy činit to největší dobro každému, s kým se setká. Dhruva Mahārāja byl ovšem jen dítě a jeho touha tomu odpovídala. Přesto se nad ním Nārada Muni slitoval a pro jeho dobro pronesl tyto verše.
