He has this good reputation: 
Yannūna muṇḍo rājā āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ payirupāseyya, appeva nāma muṇḍo rājā āyasmato nāradassa dhammaṁ sutvā sokasallaṁ pajaheyyā”ti. 
What if King Muṇḍa was to pay homage to Venerable Nārada? Hopefully when he hears Nārada’s teaching, the king could give up sorrow’s arrow.” 
Taṁ kho panāyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ evaṁ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: 
He has this good reputation: 
Yadi pana devo āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ payirupāseyya, appeva nāma devo āyasmato nāradassa dhammaṁ sutvā sokasallaṁ pajaheyyā”ti. 
What if Your Majesty was to pay homage to Venerable Nārada? Hopefully when you hear Nārada’s teaching, you could give up sorrow’s arrow.” 
“Tena hi, samma piyaka, āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ paṭivedehi. 
“Well then, my good Piyaka, let Nārada know. 
“Evaṁ, devā”ti kho piyako kosārakkho muṇḍassa rañño paṭissutvā yenāyasmā nārado tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho piyako kosārakkho āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ etadavoca: 
“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied Piyaka. He went to Nārada, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him, 
Sādhu, bhante, āyasmā nārado muṇḍassa rañño tathā dhammaṁ desetu yathā muṇḍo rājā āyasmato nāradassa dhammaṁ sutvā sokasallaṁ pajaheyyā”ti. 
Sir, please teach the king so that, when he hears your teaching, he can give up sorrow’s arrow.” 
Atha kho piyako kosārakkho uṭṭhāyāsanā āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā yena muṇḍo rājā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā muṇḍaṁ rājānaṁ etadavoca: 
Then Piyaka got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled Venerable Nārada, keeping him on his right, before going to the king and saying, 
Atha kho muṇḍo rājā bhadraṁ yānaṁ abhiruhitvā bhadrehi bhadrehi yānehi yena kukkuṭārāmo tena pāyāsi mahaccā rājānubhāvena āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ dassanāya. 
Then King Muṇḍa mounted a fine carriage and, along with other fine carriages, set out in full royal pomp to see Venerable Nārada at the Chicken Monastery. 
Atha kho muṇḍo rājā yena āyasmā nārado tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho muṇḍaṁ rājānaṁ āyasmā nārado etadavoca: 
Then the king went up to Nārada, bowed, and sat down to one side. Then Nārada said to him: 
Evaṁ vutte, muṇḍo rājā āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ etadavoca: 
When he said this, King Muṇḍa said to Venerable Nārada, 

Pucchāmahaṁ āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ etaṁ pañhaṁ.  I’ll ask you

(Saviṭṭha repeats exactly the same series of questions, and Nārada answers just as Musīla did.) 
“Aññatreva, āvuso nārada, saddhāya aññatra ruciyā aññatra anussavā aññatra ākāraparivitakkā aññatra diṭṭhinijjhānakkhantiyā atthāyasmato nāradassa paccattameva ñāṇaṁ—

“Reverend Nārada, apart from faith, endorsement, oral transmission, reasoned train of thought, or acceptance of a view after deliberation, do you know for yourself that 
“evaṁvādī tvaṁ, āvuso paviṭṭha, āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ kiṁ vadesī”ti? 
“Reverend Saviṭṭha, what do you have to say to Venerable Nārada when he speaks like this?” 
“Evaṁvādāhaṁ, āvuso ānanda, āyasmantaṁ nāradaṁ na kiñci vadāmi aññatra kalyāṇā aññatra kusalā”ti. 
“Reverend Ānanda, I have nothing to say to Venerable Nārada when he speaks like this, except what is good and wholesome.”
