Narada rejoiced, seeing in the wise Dharmaraja that splendor born of the ordering of the sacrifice. And then that sage fell into thought, O lord of men: seeing that gathering of all the kshatriyas, Narada recalled the ancient story that had occurred at the "descent of the portions" in the abode of Brahma. Recognizing that gathering as an assembly of gods, O joy of the Kurus, Narada recalled in his mind the lotus-eyed Hari.

Narada alone perceives in the earthly gathering a heavenly secret: behind the appearance of kings he sees the "descent of the portions" -- the avatarana, the descent of the divine into the world. It is significant that what appears to everyone else as a congress of rulers is revealed to the knower as a council of gods, descended for the work of the earth. The verse teaches that beneath the surface of events flows another, hidden meaning, accessible only to the spiritual eye. And the first movement of the one who perceives is to recall "the lotus-eyed Hari": having recognized the divine in what is unfolding, the wise at once turn their thought to the Lord, the very center of this mystery.
