Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.4.63:

कृताभिवन्दनस् तत्र प्रयत्नाद् उपवेशितः ।
सम्पत्तिं प्रेमजां चित्रां प्राप्तो वीणाश्रितोऽब्रवीत् ॥ ६३ ॥

kṛtābhivandanas tatra prayatnād upaveśitaḥ |
sampattiṃ premajāṃ citrāṃ prāpto vīṇāśrito'bravīt || 63 ||

Reaching the temple, Śrī Nārada offered praṇāmas to the holy deity of Bhagavān, and Śrī Hanumān made him sit down on a āsana with some effort. Then, out of prema and with a body covered by pure transformations such as tears and horripilation, and simply clasping the vīṇa in his hand without playing it, Śrī Nārada began to speak.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Devarṣi Nārada offered his daṇḍavat praṇāma to the sacred deity of Bhagavān. Then Śrī Hanumān made him sit on an āsana with some effort. However, with his body covered by pure transformations arising from prema such as trembling, sweating, horripilation, tears and stammering, he was simply clasping onto his vīna in his hands without sounding it. Rather, due to the fear of his vīna falling from the sky, he began to speak while holding onto it only in his hands.
