Translation
Śrī Nārada said: O King, do not grieve for anyone because this world is subordinate to the will of Īśvara. All these worlds along with their universal guardians reverentially carry out the orders of Him, the Supreme Regulator of all existence [Parameśvara]. It is He indeed who unites living beings and He alone who separates them.
