## Chapter Forty-Two

Then, the celestial sage Narada, who travels through the skies, descended from the heavens and entered the assembly of the Yadavas, which was filled with noblemen. ||1||

Narada's matted hair, beard, and mustache were somewhat yellowish, and he himself possessed the brilliance of the moon. Therefore, he appeared like a cloud of the autumn season adorned with a cluster of lightning. ||2||

He was adorned with a wide, colorful yoga-patta, and thus he seemed to possess the splendor of the moon, which is surrounded by a halo. ||3||

His loincloth and upper garment were gently swaying in the breeze, making him appear as if the Kalpa tree itself had descended from the heavens out of a desire to benefit the world. ||4||

He was radiant with the three virtues of right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, which were embodied in the pure sacred thread worn on his body. ||5||

He was adorned with extraordinary scholarship and the extraordinary cause of his greatness, namely, lifelong celibacy. ||6||

He was worthy of being worshipped by all kings, just as a prosperous kingdom is worthy of being worshipped. For, just as a prosperous kingdom is characterized by a pure nature, free from corruption, and ministers of pure character, so too was Narada characterized by a pure nature, free from any blemish. And just as a prosperous kingdom is free from the six enemies of the state, so too was Narada free from the six internal enemies: lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride, and envy. ||7||

Seeing the splendor of Dwarka, their heads and bodies trembled in awe. Upon seeing Narada descend from the heavens, all the kings immediately stood up. ||8||

They honored Narada, who was content with mere respect, with prostrations, offerings of seats, and other courtesies in a proper manner. ||9||

Having drunk the nectar of happiness born from the sight and conversation of Nemijineendra, Krishna, and Balabhadra, Narada, whose eyes were still not satisfied, stood in the midst of the assembly, like an ocean. ||10||

He then delighted the minds of the assembly with the nectar of stories about the Jinas, the Tirthankaras who had arisen in the eastern and western regions of the world, stories that were like the rising sun of Mount Meru. ||11||
