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.
