    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 4


    bhūmau kvāpi skhalati patati kvāpi tiṣṭhaty aceṣṭaḥ
    kvāpy utkampaṁ bhajati luṭhati kvāpi rodity athārtaḥ
    kvāpy ākrośan plutibhir ayate gāyati kvāpi nṛtyan
    sarvaṁ kvāpi śrayati yugapat prema-sampad-vikāram

    TRANSLATION

    He sometimes tripped and fell to the ground and sometimes stood motionless. Sometimes his body trembled, or he rolled on the ground, or he wept in great distress. He sometimes shouted and jumped about, sometimes sang and danced. And sometimes all the transformations of priceless love of God converged in him at once.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Texts 1-3


    śrī-parīkṣid uvāca

    tac chrutvārye mahā-prema-

    rasāveśena yantritaḥ
    mahā-viṣṇu-priyo vīṇā-
    hasto ’sau vismṛtākhilaḥ

    sadā-dvāravatī-vāsā-

    bhyastāntaḥ-pura-vartmanā
    prabhu-prāsāda-deśāntaḥ-
    praveśāścarya-vāhinā

    pūrvābhyāsād ivābhyāsaṁ

    prāsādasya gato muniḥ
    bhūtāviṣṭo mahonmāda-
    gṛhītaś ca yathetaraḥ

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Parīkṣit said: Noble mother, after hearing Ugrasena’s advice, Nārada, the dear devotee of Lord Mahā-viṣṇu, became absorbed in the taste of exalted love of God, which seized him in its grip. Forgetting everything else, he started off, vīṇā in hand. Having spent much time before in Dvārakā, Nārada automatically took the familiar roads to the center of the city, amazing roads that led to the neighborhood of the Lord’s palaces, and came to a palace of Kṛṣṇa’s that he knew how to reach from earlier visits. Under the spell of intense transcendental agitation, Nārada seemed like an ordinary person haunted by a ghost.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 5 Text 129


    yathāhaṁ prārthya tat-saṅga-
    sthitiṁ nāpnomi karhicit
    tan-mahā-lābhato hīno
    ’satyayā rājya-rakṣayā

    TRANSLATION

    In contrast, despite my begging to stay in Kṛṣṇa’s company, I never obtain that blessing. I am deprived of that achievement because of my degraded occupation of protecting the kingdom.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 5 Text 120


    yas tiṣṭhan bhojana-krīḍā-
    kautukāvasare hareḥ
    mahā-prasādam ucchiṣṭaṁ
    labhate nityam ekalaḥ

    TRANSLATION

    Uddhava stays alone with Kṛṣṇa when the Lord playfully enjoys His meals. So he is the only person who can always obtain the Lord’s mahā-prasāda remnants.

    kintv asmāsūddhavaḥ śrīmān
    paramānugrahāspadam
    yādavendrasya yo mantrī
    śiṣyo bhṛtyaḥ priyo mahān

    TRANSLATION

    But among us, blessed Uddhava has received Kṛṣṇa’s greatest mercy. That exalted soul is Lord Yādavendra’s adviser, His disciple, His servant, and His extremely dear friend.

    tad yāhi tasya parama-priya-varga-mukhyān
    śrī-yādavān nirupama-pramadābdhi-magnān
    teṣāṁ mahattvam atulaṁ bhagavaṁs tvam eva
    jānāsi tad vayam aho kim u varṇayema

    TRANSLATION

    Therefore, go see the divine Yādavas, the Lord’s most beloved associates, who live immersed in a vast, unequaled ocean of joy. My lord Nārada, you know very well how great they are. What can I tell you about their glories?
