Purport
Devarshi Narada is described herein as the Bhagawan on account of His becoming the most confidetial devotee of the Lord. The Lord and His very confidential devotees are treated on the same level by those who are actually engaged in the loving service of the Lord. Such confidential devotees of the Lord are very much dear to the Lord because such devotees travel everywhere to preach the glories of the Lord in different capacities and try utmost to convert the non-devotees of the Lord into devotee inorder to bring them on the platform of sanity. Actually no living being can be a nondevotee of the Lord on account of his constitutional position but when one becomes a non-devotee or non believer it is to be understood that the person concerned is not in the sound condition of life. The cofidential devotees of the Lord treat such illusioned living beings and therefore they are most pleasing in the eyes of the Lord. The Lord says in the Bhagwat Geeta that no body is dearer to Him except one who actually preachess the glories of the Lord to convert the non-believer and non-devotees. Such personalities like Narada must be offered all due respects like that of the personlity of Godhead Himself and Maharaj Yudhisthir along with his noble brothers were competent examples for others in the matter of receiving a pure devotee of the Lord like Narada who had no other business save and except singing the glories of the Lord along with Tumburu a musical instrument of string,
