    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 5 Text 14


    yasya prasādaḥ san-mauna-
    śānti-bhakty-ādi-sādhanaiḥ
    prārthyo naḥ sa svayaṁ vo ’bhūt
    prasanno vaśa-varty api

    TRANSLATION

    We can only pray to satisfy Him through our disciplines of silence, peace, and devotion. But being naturally satisfied with you, He has even submitted Himself to your control.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 5 Text 8


    yo brahma-rudrādi-samādhi-durlabho
    vedokti-tātparya-viśeṣa-gocaraḥ
    śrīmān nṛsiṁhaḥ kila vāmanaś ca
    śrī-rāghavendro ’pi yad-aṁśa-rūpaḥ

    TRANSLATION

    For Brahmā, Rudra, and other demigods He is difficult to realize even in advanced meditation. He can be known through the words of the Vedas only when one understands their special purport. Śrīmān Nṛsiṁha, Śrī Vāmana, and Śrī Rāghavendra are His plenary expansions.

    TRANSLATION

    As others had done before, dear mother, the king brought a large assortment of items for worshiping Nārada. But Nārada took those items and instead worshiped your fathers-in-law and their servants.

    śrī-nārada uvāca
    yūyaṁ nṛ-loke bata bhūri-bhāgā
    yeṣāṁ priyo ’sau jagad-īśvareśaḥ

    dūtaḥ suhṛt sārathir ukti-tantraḥ

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Nārada said: You are indeed the most fortunate persons on earth! The Lord of all lords of the universe is your dearest friend. He is your God, your spiritual master, your blood relation, your maternal cousin. He is your messenger, well-wisher, order carrier, and charioteer.

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Parīkṣit said: Śrī Nārada, beside himself with joy, arrived dancing at the kingdom of the Kurus and raced into their capital city.

    teṣāṁ jyeṣṭhasya sāmrājye
    pravṛttir bhagavat-priyāt
    ato bahu-vidhā deva-
    durlabhā rājya-sampadaḥ

    TRANSLATION

    The eldest of these brothers rules the state out of love for the Personality of Godhead. Thus his kingdom is rich in all sorts of assets rarely enjoyed by the demigods.
