the sage Narada; deva—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; darsanam—
who met; yena—by whom; proktah—spoken; kriya-yogah—devotional
service; paricaryad—for rendering service; vidhih—the procedure; hareh—to
the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

TRANSLATION

Vidura continued: I know that the great sage Narada is the greatest of
all devotees. He has compiled the parcaratrika procedure of devotional ser-
vice and has directly met the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

PURPORT

There are two different ways of approaching the Supreme Lord. One is
called bhdgavata-marga, or the way of Srimad-Bhagavatam, and the other
is called pdficardtrika-vidhi. Paficaratrika-vidhi is the method of temple
worship, and bhagavata-vidhi is the system of nine processes which begin
with hearing and chanting. The Krsna conscious movement accepts both
processes simultaneously and thus enables one to make steady progress on
the path of realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This
pdiicaratrika procedure was first introduced by the great sage Narada, as
referred to here by Vidura.
