My dear King, thereafter Lord Kṛṣṇa was approached in a solitary place by the great sage among the demigods, Nārada Muni. That most exalted devotee spoke as follows to the Lord, who effortlessly performs His pastimes.
After speaking with Kaṁsa, Nārada went to see Lord Kṛṣṇa. The Lord’s Vṛndāvana pastimes were nearly completed, and Nārada wanted to see those He would enact in Mathurā.
