The Bhagavata Path
Possessing the power of going uninterruptedly anywhere at any time, they travelled, desiring nothing, through the various worlds of the Devas, sages, Siddhas, Gandharvas, Kinnaras, Nagas, Charanas, Vidyadharas, etc.
“In the course of such travel, they came to the place where the glorious Nimi was performing a great sacrifice in the continent of Bharata.
“King Nimi duly worshipped them and offered them seats and said, ‘This human body is not easily attained by men. It would break down in a minute. It is difficult to meet those who are the devotees of Lord Hari. In this Samsara, association with the righteous and the sages even for half a minute is a great treasure to human beings. It therefore behoves me to take advantage of this opportunity and request you to teach me the secret that leads to everlasting good or the final beatitude. If you consider me fit to hear the same, teach me the ways and knowledge of righteousness (Bhagavata Dharma) by which the Lord of the universe would get easily propitiated and even grant Himself to His disciples.’“
