Here Nara and Narayana are proclaimed most worthy of worship by all that exists. It is telling that "all gods and asuras" must worship them: the Lord and His eternal companion are the object of veneration for all worlds. In this is affirmed the supremacy of Narayana and the sanctity of His devotee Nara. So does scripture reveal their undying glory; and to honor them is the duty of every being.
