Parīkṣit said: Noble mother, after hearing Ugrasena’s advice,
Nārada, the dear devotee of Lord Mahā-viṣṇu, became absorbed in the
taste of exalted love of God, which seized him in its grip.
Forgetting everything else, he started off, vīṇā in hand. Having
spent much time before in Dvārakā, Nārada automatically took the
familiar roads to the center of the city, amazing roads that led to
the neighborhood of the Lord’s palaces, and came to a palace of
Kṛṣṇa’s that he knew how to reach from earlier visits. Under the
spell of intense transcendental agitation, Nārada seemed like an
ordinary person haunted by a ghost.
