Vasudeva said O chief of the Kukuras, listen to me as I describe shortly those good qualities of Narada which I know, I king! Narada is as well-read in the scriptures as he is good and pious in his conduct
वासुदेव उवाच कुकुराधिप यान् मन्ये शृणु तान् मे विवक्षतः। नारदस्य गुणान् साधून् संक्षेपेण नराधिप॥
