Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.7.15-16:

नारदस् तु कृतागस्कम् इवात्मानम् अमन्यत ।
देवानां यादवानां च सङ्गेऽगान् न कुतूहलात् ॥ १५ ॥
वियत्य् अन्तर्हितो भूत्वा बद्धैकं योग-पट्टकम् ।
निविष्टो भगवच्-चेष्टा-माधुर्यानुभवाय सः ॥ १६ ॥

nāradas tu kṛtāgaskam ivātmānam amanyata |
devānāṃ yādavānāṃ ca saṅge'gān na kutūhalāt || 15 ||
viyaty antarhito bhūtvā baddhaikaṃ yoga-paṭṭakam |
niviṣṭo bhagavac-ceṣṭā-mādhuryānubhavāya saḥ || 16 ||

Śrī Nārada, as if considering himself an offender, as well as the demigods and the Yādavas, did not go there either. However, out of curi osity to experience the sweetness of the pastimes and activities of Bhagavān, they positioned themselves unseen in the sky in a yoga posture.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śrī Nārada began to consider himself an offender because of Bhagavān’s condition of drowsy swoon. However, using the indeclinable iva indicates the improbability of any offence. Although Bhagavān Himself clarifies this incident later, still Śrī Nārada, considering himself somewhat of an offender, did not go either, as well as Vasudeva and the other Yādavas, nor did any demigods such as Brahmā.

The word kutūhalāt (out of curiosity) logically connects with śloka 16. Śrī Nārada, out of curiosity, positioned himself unseen in the sky by performing a yogāsana (yoga posture). What was the reason? He wanted to experience or obtain the direct darśana of the sweet activities of Śrī Bhagavān.
