All the same, 0 sage, (be pleased to) command us and bless our (human) birth." Narada, however, was astonished (when he heard this) and, silently rising (from his seat) moved to another mansion. There too he saw Sri Krsna fondling His infant sons. Again, in another house he found the Lord preparing for His bath. (In this way the Devarsi found the Lord engaged in different activities, all at once, in all the different mansions). If here He was engaged in pouring oblations in the sacrificial fire, there He was propitiating God through the five-fold daily sacrifices; some-where He was feeding the Brahmanas, while elsewhere He was partaking of the remaining food (Himself). Here He was performing Sandhya, and there the silent Japa of Gayatri. Here the elder brother of Gada was performing various tricks of fence with the sword and shield, and there He was riding on horses, elephants and chariots. Here He was resting on His bed, and was being eulogized by bards. In one mansion, He was conferring with Uddhava and other counsellors, and in another sporting in water surrounded by courtesans. At one place He was gifting well-adorned cows to Brahmanas and listening to the recitation of auspicious Itihasas and Puranas. In one mansion He was making merry and indulging in light talk with His beloved consort, and in another He was found engaged in the careful observance of Dharma. At a third place Narada found him (engaged in) devising ways and means of accumulating wealth, and at another (in) enjoying the pleasures of sense permitted for a householder.
