TRANSLATION
The seven musical notes—sa, r, ga, ma, pa, dha and ni—are used
in musical instruments, but originally they come from the Sama
Veda. The great sage Narada vibrates sounds describing the
pastimes of the Supreme Lord. By such transcendental vibrations,
such as Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare
Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, he fixes his mind at
the lotus feet of the Lord. Thus he directly perceives Hrsikesa, the
master of the senses. After delivering the Haryasvas, Narada Muni
continued traveling throughout the planetary systems, his mind
always fixed at the lotus feet of the Lord.
