Four billion three hundred wenty milion years after the end of the previous millenium. Brahmā awoke to create. By the will of the Lord, all the ṛṣis, such as Marici, Angira, and Atri,
were created from the transcendental body of the Lord, and Nārada appeared along with them. Since then, by the grace of almighty Viṣṇu, Nārada travels everywhere unrestrictedly, both in the transcendental world and in the three divisions of the material world. This is because he is fixed in unbroken devotional service to the Lord. Thus he travels, constantly singing the transcendental message of the glories of the Lord, vibrating his vina, which is charged with transcendental sound and which was given to Him by Lord Kṛṣṇa. This transcendental instrument is identical with Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Nārada because it is in the same transcendental category. Sound vibrated by the instrument cannot be material, and therefore the glories and pastimes broadcast by the instrument of Nārada are also transcendental, without a tinge of material inebriety.
As a pure devotee of the Lord, Śrī Naradadeva is always fulfilling his obligation to the Lord for His gift of the instrument, and thus he is always engaged in singing His transcendental glories. Therefore Nārada is infallible in his exalted position. Following in the footsteps of Srila Nārada Muni, a self-realized soul in the material world should also properly use the sound meters—sa, r, ga, ma, etc.—in the service of the Lord by constantly singing the glories of the Lord, as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita.
