The Nārada Bhakti Sūtras (नारद भक्ति सूत्रस्)

Executive summary

The Nārada (नारद) Bhakti Sūtras (सूत्र) are eighty-four lines on bhakti, the love this book will define, and on laying the heart down. The tradition gives them to Nārada (नारद). The file's own chapter names are the five groups below: the form of that love, its greatness, the means, the defining, and the glory of the chief love. They sit beside Gītā (गीता) chapter 12. These pages are the sūtras (सूत्र). They are not a lesson in a raga.

नेपालीमा

नारद भक्तिसूत्र भक्तिबारे, अर्थात् यो पुस्तकले परिभाषित गर्ने प्रेमबारे, र हृदय राखिदिनेबारे चौरासी पङ्क्ति हुन्। परम्पराले यिनलाई नारदको रचना मान्छ। फाइलका आफ्नै अध्यायका नाम तलका पाँच समूह हुन्। ती समूह त्यो प्रेमको स्वरूप, महत्त्व, साधन, परिभाषा, र मुख्य प्रेमको महिमा हुन्। तिनीहरू गीताको बाह्रौँ अध्यायको छेउमा बस्छन्। यी पृष्ठ सूत्र हुन्, रागको पाठ होइनन्।

Chapters

The book holds eighty-four sūtras (सूत्र) on bhakti (भक्ति), divine love, and on laying the heart down. The tradition gives them to Nārada (नारद). It sits beside Gītā (गीता) chapter 12, which opens at 12.1. The singing rooms are Sangeet Yatra. These pages are the sūtras (सूत्र). They are not a lesson in a raga.

The household stories are a different shelf. The Swasthānī (स्वस्थानी), the year's festivals, and the valley myths are episodes, not these eighty-four lines.

The Sanskrit follows the Sanskrit Documents text. That file prints five chapter names: the form of the supreme bhakti (भक्ति) (1–24), its greatness (25–33), the means (34–50), defining the love (51–66), and the glory of the chief bhakti (भक्ति) (67–84). Those names are the file's names. Sūtra (सूत्र) 76 is the continuous 76. The file's chapter number at that line prints 5.19. The English sentence and the Nepali sentence are this book's own.

How a sitting goes

One sūtra (सूत्र) is one page. A word the line does not repeat is carried from the page before, and the sitting says so.
