From that time the high-souled Parvata began to wander over the earth, respected as he deserved, O Bharata, for his own energy. Narada then, that foremost of Brahmanas, obtained according to due rites the hand of Srinjaya's daughter, the faultless Sukumari. The princess, however, beheld Narada exactly as the curse had said.
The righteous-souled Narada has said that that man who wishes to increase his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures, meets with calamity. Vrihaspati has said that that man who abstains from honey and meat acquires the merit of gifts and sacrifices and penances.
Desist, O king, it will not be otherwise. Returning then to his capital, he addressed his wife, saying, 'O great goddess, great hath been the exertion made by me. And though I solicited him repeatedly, yet Siva said, "This is Destiny's decree. It will not be otherwise. And in due time the wife of Prishata conceived, agreeably to Destiny's decree, as I was informed, O king, by Narada.
When such a king, O Srinjaya, died who was superior to thee as regards the four cardinal virtues and who, superior to thee was, therefore, much more superior to thy son, thou shouldst not, saying "Oh, Swaitya, Oh, Swaitya," grieve for thy son who performed no sacrifice and made no sacrificial present."" ""Narada said, 'Usinara's son, Sivi also, O Srinjaya, we hear, fell a prey to death.
Narada and Parvata and Devala of austere penances, came there to see king Dhritarashtra. The Island-born Vyasa with all his disciples, and other persons endued with great wisdom and crowned with ascetic success, and the royal sage Satayupa of advanced years and possessed of great merit, also came. Kunti worshipped them with due rites, O king.
Both of you are large-hearted. Let one amongst you stand aside, according to the indication of the above slokas. And having said so Narada became silent, and hearing what Narada had said the king of the Kuru race walking round Sivi, and praising his numerous achievements, gave him the way and went on in his course.
From Narada I have acquired that knowledge which is truly identifiable with the eternal Brahma. Having heard this discourse of high import, fraught with excellent words, do not, O foremost of the Kurus, yield any longer to grief. That man who knows Kshara and Akshara becomes freed from fear. He, indeed, O king, is obliged to cherish fear who is destitute of this knowledge.
"'This delightful assembly house of Kuvera that I have seen, attached to the firmament and capable of moving along it, is such, O king. Listen now to the Sabha I describe unto thee, belonging to Brahma the Grandsire. "Narada said, 'Listen to me, O child, as I tell thee of the assembly house of the Grandsire, that house which none can describe, saying it is such.
