Book I : Bala Kanda - Book Of Youthful Majesties : Chapter
1(Continued)
बहवो दुर्लभाः च एव ये त्वया कीर्तिता गुणाः |
मुने वक्ष्ष्यामि अहम् बुद्ध्वा तैः उक्तः श्रूयताम् नरः || १-१-७
मुने वक्ष्ष्यामि अहम् बुद्ध्वा तैः उक्तः श्रूयताम् नरः || १-१-७
7. mune = oh, sage Valmiki; bahavaH = many [or, infinite merits]; dur labhaaH = not, attainable, [unattainable by conscious development or effort]; ca eva = also, that way [for ordinary humans]; ye guNaaH = which, merits; tvayaa kiirtitaaH = by you, extolled; taiH yuktaH = those [facets,] one who has [the possessor of those merits]; naraH = [of that] man; shruuyataam = I make it clear; aham buddhvaa = I, having known [from Brahma];vakshyaami = I speak on.
"Oh! Sage Valmiki, the merits which you have extolled are many, and unattainable even for great emperors, let alone ordinary humans, and also infinite are they... but, about such a man with such merits I will speak on... for I, having known from Brahma of such a man, will make clear about that man..." Thus Narada started to say. [1-1-7]
Narada came hither to impart the legend of Rama, as Brahma already imparted the same to him, and wanted him to impart these very attributes to Valmiki to compose Ramayana. It is a coincidence of interests Valmiki and those of Narada and Brahma.
