Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.4.3:

पीठे प्रयत्नाद् उपवेशितोऽयं पूजां पुरावद् विधिनार्प्यमाणाम् ।
संभ्रान्त-चेताः परिहृत्य वर्षन् हर्षाश्रुम् आश्लेष-परोऽवदत् तम् ॥ ३ ॥

pīṭhe prayatnād upaveśito'yaṃ pūjāṃ purāvad vidhinārpyamāṇām |
saṃbhrānta-cetāḥ parihṛtya varṣan harṣāśrum āśleṣa-paro'vadat tam || 3 ||

Śrī Prahlāda Mahārāja requested the foremost of sages to sit on an āsana and accept his respectful worship according to previous customs. Accordingly, he prepared various paraphernalia to worship him, yet the exalted Śrī Nārada with deep respect did not permit such adoration. He simply embraced Śrī Prahlāda and with affectionate tears began to speak.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The foremost of sages Śrī Nārada did not personally seat himself on the āsana offered by Śrī Prahlāda, but Śrī Prahlāda requested him to sit on the āsana after great insistence. Just as in previous customs, Śrī Nārada would not accept the items of pūjā such as padya or footwash and arghya presented by Śrī Prahlāda. Instead, with his heart touched by the tenderness of prema, he embraced Śrī Prahlāda, and with a flow of joyful tears, Śrī Nārada began speaking to that crest-jewel of Vaiṣṇavas, Śrī Prahlāda.
