Translation
When Nārada informed Jambhāsura's relatives that Jambhāsura had been killed, the demons named Namuci, Bala and Pāka arrived on the battlefield in great haste.
Personal Guidance
Nārada informed Jambhāsura's relatives, and Namuci, Bala, and Pāka rushed to the battlefield in fury. Even the sage's truthful news triggers further conflict. Information, dispassionately delivered, still sets actions in motion.
Reflection Questions
- What truthful news have I shared that triggered consequences I did not anticipate?
- Where am I responsible for delivering hard truth, even knowing what will follow?
