Dvāra-kā-līlā
तं सन्निरीक्ष्य भगवान् सहसोत्थितश्री- पर्यङ्कत: सकलधर्मभृतां वरिष्ठ: । आनम्य पादयुगलं शिरसा किरीट- जुष्टेन साञ्जलिरवीविशदासने स्वे ॥ १४ ॥
taṁ sannirīkṣya bhagavān sahasotthita-śrī- paryaṅkataḥ sakala-dharma-bhṛtāṁ variṣṭhaḥ ānamya pāda-yugalaṁ śirasā kirīṭa- juṣṭena sāñjalir avīviśad āsane sve
Al ver a Nārada, el Señor Bhagavān, supremo sostenedor del dharma, se levantó de inmediato del lecho de la diosa Śrī. Inclinó su cabeza coronada ante los dos pies del sabio y, con las palmas unidas, lo hizo sentar en su propio asiento.
