brahmÄ - the supreme four-headed demigod; bhavaḥ ca - and Lord Åšiva; tatra - there; etya - arriving; munibhiḥ - accompanied by great sages; nÄrada-Ädibhiḥ - by NÄrada and others; devaiḥ - and by demigods like Indra, Candra and Varuṇa; sa-anucaraiḥ - with their followers; sÄkam - all together; gÄ«rbhiḥ - by their transcendental prayers; vṛṣaṇam - the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who can bestow blessings upon everyone; aiá¸ayan - pleased.
Lord BrahmÄ and Lord Åšiva, accompanied by great sages like NÄrada, Devala and VyÄsa and by other demigods like Indra, Candra and Varuṇa, invisibly approached the room of DevakÄ«, where they all joined in offering their respectful obeisances and prayers to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who can bestow blessings upon everyone.
Dvau bhÅ«ta-sargau loke ’smin daiva Äsura eva ca (Padma PurÄṇa). There are two classes of men — the daivas and the asuras — and there is a great difference between them. Kaá¹sa, being an asura, was always planning how to kill the Supreme Personality of Godhead or His mother, DevakÄ«. Thus he was also Kṛṣṇa conscious. But devotees are Kṛṣṇa conscious favorably (viṣṇu-bhaktaḥ smá¹›to daivaḥ). BrahmÄ is so powerful that he is in charge of creating an entire universe, yet he personally came to receive the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Bhava, Lord Åšiva, is always jubilant in chanting the holy name of the Lord. And what to speak of NÄrada? NÄrada-muni, bÄjÄya vīṇÄ, rÄdhikÄ-ramaṇa-nÄme. NÄrada Muni is always chanting the glories of the Lord, and his engagement is to travel all over the universe and find a devotee or make someone a devotee. Even a hunter was made a devotee by the grace of NÄrada. ÅšrÄ«la SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«, in his Toá¹£aṇī, says that the word nÄrada-Ädibhiḥ means that NÄrada and the demigods were accompanied by other saintly persons, like Sanaka and SanÄtana, all of whom came to congratulate or welcome the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Even though Kaá¹sa was planning to kill DevakÄ«, he too awaited the arrival of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (pratÄ«ká¹£aá¹s taj janma).
