Lord BrahmÄ, the father of NÄrada Muni, is the supreme person within this universe. As soon as NÄrada saw the great swan, he could understand that Lord BrahmÄ had arrived. Therefore he immediately stood up, along with SvÄyambhuva Manu and his son Priyavrata, whom NÄrada was instructing. Then they folded their hands and began to worship Lord BrahmÄ with great respect.
As stated in the previous verse, Lord BrahmÄ was accompanied by other demigods, but his specific carrier was the great swan. Therefore as soon as NÄrada Muni saw the swan, he could understand that his father, Lord BrahmÄ, who is also known as Hiraṇyagarbha, was arriving. Thus he immediately stood up with SvÄyambhuva Manu and his son Priyavrata to receive Lord BrahmÄ and offer him respect.
