Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 7 - Chapter 1 - Verse 21


Sanskrit:

एतद्भ्राम्यति मे बुद्धिर्दीपार्चिरिव वायुना ।ब्रूह्येतदद्भ‍ुततमं भगवान्ह्यत्र कारणम् ॥ २१ ॥

ITRANS:

etad bhrāmyati me buddhirdīpārcir iva vāyunābrūhy etad adbhutatamaṁbhagavān hy atra kāraṇam

Translation:

This matter is undoubtedly very wonderful. Indeed, my intelligence has become disturbed, just as the flame of a candle is disturbed by a blowing wind. O Nārada Muni, you know everything. Kindly let me know the cause of this wonderful event.

Purport:

The śāstras enjoin, tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet: when one is perplexed by the difficult problems of life, to solve them one must approach a guru like Nārada or his representative in the disciplic succession. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira therefore requested Nārada to explain the cause for such a wonderful event.
