Hello Marek, Thank you for offering this story. While it is similar to the one I've heard and read about Narada, it's not the one I'm searching for. Instead of rewriting it from what little I remember, I'm searching for an extant well-said version of it to share with others in driving a point.

The Yoga Vashishta has the story that sounds similar to the Narada tea story, and maybe that's what you're thinking of. In the YV Vyasa sends Shukadev to King Janaka for instruction. Shukadev is kind of contemptuous of Janaka because he's the epitome of householder life and Shukadev is "sky c
