    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 3 Texts 1-4


    śrī-parīkṣid uvāca

    bhagavantaṁ haraṁ tatra

    bhāvāviṣṭatayā hareḥ
    nṛtyantaṁ kīrtayantaṁ ca
    kṛta-saṅkarṣaṇārcanam

    bhṛśaṁ nandīśvarādīṁś ca

    paramānugṛhīto ’si

    kṛṣṇasyeti muhur muhuḥ
    jagau sarvaṁ ca pitroktaṁ
    su-svaraṁ samakīrtayat

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Parīkṣit said: Arriving in Śivaloka, from a distance the sage Nārada saw Lord Śiva, Śrī Hara, who had just finished his worship of Lord Saṅkarṣaṇa, Śrī Hari. Entranced in ecstatic love, Lord Śiva was dancing and loudly singing the glories of his Lord, while his associates played instrumental music and shouted “Jaya! Jaya!” With great affection he praised his assistants like Nandīśvara, as well as the goddess Umā, who was expertly clapping her hands. The sight of all this delighted Nārada. Vibrating his vīṇā and nodding his head to show respect, he called out several times, “You are the greatest recipient of Kṛṣṇa’s mercy!” and in a sweet voice he recounted to Lord Śiva everything just told him by their father, Lord Brahmā.
