TRANSLATION
The great sage Narada continued: When I refused to accept her request,
she became very angry at me and cursed me severely. Because I refused her
request, she said that I would not be able to stay in one place for a long
time.
PURPORT
The great sage Narada Muni has a spiritual body; therefore old age,
disease, birth and death do not affect him. Narada is the most kind devotee
of the Supreme Lord, and his only business is to travel all over the universe
and preach God consciousness. In other words, his business is to make
everyone a Vaisnava. Under the circumstances, there is ordinarily no need
for him to stay in one place for more than the time he requires to preach.
Since by his own free will he is already traveling all over the universe, the
curse of the Kalakany4 is described as fortunate. Like Narada Muni, many
other devotees of the Lord are engaged in preaching the glories of the
Lord in different places and in different universes. Such personalities are
beyond the jurisdiction “i material laws.
