demigods; ksibanau—with eyes maddened by intoxication; samabu-
dhyata—he could understand (their position).
TRANSLATION
O Maharaja Pariksit, by some auspicious opportunity for the two
boys, the great saint Devarsi Narada once appeared there by
chance. Seeing them intoxicated, with rolling eyes, he could
understand their situation.
PURPORT
It is said:
‘sddhu-sanga,’ ‘sddhu-sariga’——sarva-sdstre kaya
lava-matra sddhu-sarige sarva-siddhi haya
(Ce. Madhya 22.54)
Wherever Narada Muni goes, any moment at which he appears is under-
stood to be extremely auspicious. It is also said:
brahmanda bhramite kona bhagyavan jiva
guru-krsna-prasdde paya bhakti-latd-bija
“According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout
the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper plan-
etary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary
systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is
very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual
master by the grace of Krsna. By the mercy of both Krsna and the spiri-
tual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional
service.” (Cc. Madhya 19.151) Narada appeared in the garden to give
the two sons of Kuvera the seed of devotional service, even though they
were intoxicated. Saintly persons know how to bestow mercy upon the
fallen souls.
