Having said "so be it" and [having honored] that Sharva together with his retinue, the two heroes set out toward that divine lake, surrounded by hundreds of divine wonders, indicated by the Bull-marked one, sacred, accomplishing all purposes; toward it went the unperturbed Nara and Narayana, [the two] sages. And, having come to that lake, resembling the disk of the sun, Arjuna and Achyuta beheld a terrible serpent in the water.

Once more the secret of the two is disclosed: they are "naranārāyaṇau ṛṣī", the sages Nara and Narayana, and they go "asaṃbhrāntau", unperturbed, for they know their own nature. The lake, "sarvārthasādhakam", accomplishing all purposes, is guarded by a terrible serpent. It is telling that a guardian is set to test the one approaching the highest gift. The verse teaches that what is precious is guarded not to forbid but to test: the path to the highest passes by a fearsome guard, and only one who is unperturbed, knowing his true self and having taken refuge in God, passes it without alarm.
