দেবর্ষি নারদ নাচে, রহিযা ব্রহ্মার পাছে নযনে বহযে প্রেম-জল পাইযা যশের সীমা, কোথা বা রহিল বীণা, না জানযে আনন্দে বিহ্বল ॥ ৪৪ ॥
देवर्षि नारद नाचे, रहिया ब्रह्मार पाछे नयने वहये प्रेम-जल पाइया यशेर सीमा, कोथा वा रहिल वीणा, ना जानये आनन्दे विह्वल ॥ ४४ ॥
devarṣi nārada nāce, rahiyā brahmāra pāche nayane vahaye prema-jala pāiyā yaśera sīmā, kothā vā rahila vīṇā, nā jānaye ānande vihvala || 44 ||
devarsi narada nace, rahiya brahmara pache nayane vahaye prema-jala paiya yasera sima, kotha va rahila vina, na janaye anande vihvala (44)
English translation:
(44) As Devarṣi Nārada danced by the side of Brahmā, tears of love flowed from his eyes. After realizing the Lord’s unlimited glories, he became so overwhelmed in ecstasy that he forgot his vīṇā.
