1. There is a kingdom where only one man lives. Do you know that man? (कथं स्रक्ष्यथ वै प्रजा:)
Answer: The only one man who lives everywhere in his kingdom is that bhagavan vishnu.

3. There is a woman who have multiple faces. Do you know her? (बहुरूपां स्त्रियं)
Answer: Intelligence is that women.
4. That women like an unchaste women (prostitute) gets attracted to many male, but also have her husband. Who is that husband? (पुमांसं पुंश्चली पतिम्)

5. There is a river flowing in both directions. Do you know that river? (नदीम् उभयतो वाहां)
Answer: In this world, there is a big river flowing on one side for creation (srushti) and other side flowing for dissolution (pralaya) (सृष्टि अप्यय करीं मायां).
6. There is a wonderful home, made of twenty-five materials. What is that? (पञ्च पञ्च अद्भुतं गृहम्)
Answer: world is created with mesmerizing 25 tattva (पञ्च विंशति तत्त्वानां पुरुषो)
25 tattva = purusha + avyakta (un-manifest Prakrti) + mahath (intellect)+ ahankaara (sense of "i" or ego) + manas (mind) + 5 mahat bhoota + 5 Tan maatra + 5 sense organs + 5 action organs
7. There is a swan that vibrates various sound (हंसं चित्रकथं). What is that sound?
Answer: vedic literature (ऐश्वरं शास्त्रम्) is that various sound. Vedic Literature talks about bhagavan and also about methods to acquire materialistic wealth. Swan is known to identify pure and impure water. It has ability to take only pure water.
Swan is referred here to inform us, to take only the vedic sounds which talk about Bhagavan, and must ignore other materialistic vedic prayers.
8. There is an object made of sharp edges that revolve automatically (क्षौर-पव्यं स्वयं भ्रमि).. What is that?
Answer: Time (कालचक्रं) is the object revolve automatically and made of sharp razords and thunderbolts. Once time gone, it never comes back.
After hearing this from Narada, Haryasvaas decided not to involve in materialistic pleasures thru' this world and went to spiritual path to achieve moksha (vaikunda)
