PLATE FIVE
Because he is fixed in unbroken devotional service to the Lord, Nārada Muni has received the grace of the almighty Viṣṇu. Thus he is a liberated spaceman, and he can travel anywhere without restriction, both in the transcendental world and in the three divisions of the material world. As he travels, he constantly sings the glories of the Lord and vibrates his  vīṇā , which is charged with transcendental sound and which was given to him by Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself. ( p. 106 )
