अथानुज्ञाप्य तमृषिं नारदं लोकविश्रुतम् । तस्मादनुज्ञां संप्राप्य जगाम पितरं प्रति ॥
सोऽभिवाद्य महात्मानमृषिं द्वैपायनं मुनिम् । शुकः प्रदक्षिणीकृत्य कृष्णमापृष्टवान्मुनिः ॥
English Translation
Obtaining Narada's permission, Shuka then went to where his father was. Arrived before him, the great Muni, viz., the great and Islandborn Krishna, Shuka circumambulated him and addressed him the usual enquiries.
श्रुत्वा ऋषिस्तद्वचनं शुकस्य; प्रीतो महात्मा पुनराह चैनम् । भो भोः पुत्र स्थीयतां तावदद्य; यावच्चक्षुः प्रीणयामि त्वदर्थम् ॥
English Translation
Hearing of Shuka's intention, the great Rishi became highly pleased. Addressing him the great Rishi said,-0 son, O dear son, do you stay here to-day so that I may see you for some time for gratifying my eyes.
निरपेक्षः शुको भूत्वा निःस्नेहो मुक्तबन्धनः । मोक्षमेवानुसंचिन्त्य गमनाय मनो दधे । पितरं संपरित्यज्य जगाम द्विजसत्तमः ॥
English Translation
Shuka, however, paid no heed to that request. Freed from affection and all doubt, he began to think only of Liberation, and set his heart on the journey.
