Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.2.44-45:

पारमेष्ठ्यासने तत्र सुखासीनं निज-प्रभोः ।
महिम-श्रवणाख्यान-परं सास्राष्ट-नेत्रकम् ॥ ४४ ॥
विचित्र-परमैश्वर्य-सामग्री-परिसेवितम् ।
स्व-तातं नारदोऽभ्येत्य प्रणम्योवाच दण्डवत् ॥ ४५ ॥

pārameṣṭhyāsane tatra sukhāsīnaṃ nija-prabhoḥ |
mahima-śravaṇākhyāna-paraṃ sāsrāṣṭa-netrakam || 44 ||
vicitra-paramaiśvarya-sāmagrī-parisevitam |
sva-tātaṃ nārado'bhyetya praṇamyovāca daṇḍavat || 45 ||

Śrī Brahmā then happily sat on his imperial throne and began to hear and chant the glories of his master Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Tears of joy flowed from his eight eyelids. Going before his father Brahmā, Śrī Nārada saw him lavishly accepting service and offered prostrated obeisances.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Nārada received darśana of his desirable object from a distance. The intent is that he did not want to put his proposal directly in front of Śrī Bhagavān, or else when he approached Śrī Bhagavān, Śrī Brahmā had no time for extensive talks, explicit or implicit. Afterwords, understanding the appropriate time, he expressed his desired proposal.

The two verses beginning with pārameṣṭhyāsane elucidate this. Just as Śrī Brahmā sat comfortably on his imperial throne, Śrī Nārada came before him and began by offering his daṇḍavat praṇāma. To offer praṇāma to anyone in front of Śrī Bhagavān is forbidden, thus he did not offer obeisance right away to Śrī Brahmā. But it is no fault to first offer praṇāma to Śrī Guru, Parama-guru and so on, before Śrī Bhagavān; therefore, he offered praṇāma to them first. So now, before presenting his desired proposal, he again offers his daṇḍavat praṇāma.

In what condition was Śrī Brahmā? He was engaged in hearing and chanting the glories of his own Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa (the glories of bhakta-vātsalya, affectionate guardianship, and so on). Thus, while being attended by the service of all kinds of wonderful, opulent paraphernalia, a stream of blissful tears flowed from his eight eyes.
