परमानुगृहीतोऽसि कृष्णस्येति मुहुर् मुहुः ।

jagau sarvaṃ ca pitroktaṃ susvaraṃ samakīrtayat || 4 ||Afterwards, with the accompaniment of his vīṇā, Śrī Nārada began to sing over and again, “You are the greatest recipient of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s mercy!” Then he began singing sweetly the glories of Śrī Śiva that he had heard from his father, Śrī Brahmā.
Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
“At this time, singing must be done…” Thinking like this, Śrī Nārada began to purposefully declare and sing repeatedly, “You are the topmost recipient of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s mercy!” He began to sing sweetly about the glories he had heard from his father, Śrī Brahmā: “Śrī Śiva is deeply attached to drinking the divine mellows from the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.”
