  vakṣye sanātanam dharmam 
  nārāyaṇa-mukhāc chrutam
śrī-nāradaḥ uvāca—Śrī Nārada Muni said;  natvā —offering my obeisances;  bhagavate —unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead;  ajāya —ever existing, never born;  lokānām —throughout the entire universe;  dharma-setave —who protects religious principles;  vakṣye —I shall explain;  sanātanam —eternal;  dharmam —occupational duty;  nārāyaṇa-mukhāt —from the mouth of Nārāyaṇa;  śrutam —which I have heard.
TRANSLATION
Śrī Nārada Muni said: After first offering my obeisances unto Lord Krṣṇa, the protector of the religious principles of all living entities, let me explain the principles of the eternal religious system, of which I have heard from the mouth of Nārāyaṇa.
PURPORT
The word  aja  refers to Krṣṇa, who explains in  Bhagavad-gītā  (4.6),  ajo 'pi sann avyayātmā : "I am ever existing, and thus I never take birth. There is no change in My existence."
