Seeing Narada on one occasion adoring many foremost of Brahmanas with joined hands, Keshava addressed him, saying Whom do you worship? Whom amongst these Brahmanas, O holy one, do you worship with so great respect? If it is capable of being heard by me, I wish then to hear it. Do O foremost of righteous men, tell me this.
नारदं प्राञ्जलिं दृष्ट्वा पूजयानं द्विजर्षभान्। केशवः परिपप्रच्छ भगवन् कान् नमस्यसि॥ बहुमानपरस्तेषु भगवन् यान् नमस्यसि। शक्यं चेच्छ्रोतुमस्माभिर्बुह्येतद् धर्मवित्तम॥
