The great and energetic ascetic Narada, whose effulgence is as immeasurable as Brahma itself, with sins all dissipated, capable of seeing through the power of his penances both this and the other world at once, and the equal of the celestial Rishis living in the region of the Creator, roamed at his pleasure through the three worlds.
महतस्तपसो व्युष्ट्या पश्यँल्लोको परावरौ। सामान्यमृषिभिर्गत्वा ब्रह्मलोकनिवासिभिः॥ ब्रह्मेवामितदीप्तौजाः शान्तपाप्मा महातपाः। विचचार यथाकामं त्रिषु लोकेषु नारदः॥
