Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 10: Chapter 69: Verses 30-39


At one place, the Devarsi saw Him seated all by Himself contemplating on the Supreme Person beyond Prakrti, and at another doing service to the elders by offering them the desired objects of enjoyment and worship. At one place, he found Sri Krsna preparing for war against some enemies, and at another discussing terms of peace. Here the Devarsi saw Him devising-with Balarama the ways and means of ensuring the well-being of the virtuous, and there performing with grandeur the wedding with due ceremony of sons and daughters with brides and bridegrooms worthy of them. Here he found Him conducting festivities on a large scale white sending off a married girl (to her husband) and receiving another (on return from her husband's house). People wondered to see these grand festal activities of Bhagavan Sri Krsna (the Lord of masters of Yoga). Somewhere he saw Him offering worship to (the various) gods, his own rays, by means of grand sacrifices, and elsewhere observing piety through the construction of wells, gardens and temples etc., for public good. Here he found Him riding on a horse born in the Indus valley, followed by prominent Yadavas, in pursuit of game and killing animals fit for sacrifice in the course of such chase. At one place he saw Sri Krsna (the Master of Yoga) moving incognito among the people as well as in the mansions of the palace etc., for ascertaining the inward feelings of their inmates as well as of the people.
Having witnessed the display of wonderful powers of Yoga by Sri Krsna, though following the ways of a human being, Narada spoke to Him as though laughing heartily. 0 Master of Yoga, we know (the secret of) Your worderful powers of Yoga which cannot be easily seen even by wielders of Maya (like Brahma) and which have been revealed to our mind through the worship of Your lotus-feet. Pray, give me leave, 0 Lord, to go, so that I may move about the (fourteen) worlds flooded with Your glory, singing loudly the story of Your pastimes, which is capable of purifying the (whole) world.
