17. Narada said: — O Almighty Lord, it is no wonder in Thee, the Lord of all the Universe, that Thou art the friend to all creatures and the chastiser of the wicked. Indeed to lead the creatures to final happiness, by maintaining and protecting the world, Thou appearest of Thine own accord, O Lord, sung as the Supreme in all the Vedas; and this we know well.
