mādhuryānubhavāya saḥ

Nārada, however, thinking he had committed an offense, did not accompany the demigods and the Yādavas. Instead with great curiosity he hid himself in the midst of the sky, fixing himself in a yoga sitting posture, to observe the sweetness of the Lord’s acts.

Brahmā found his own father and spiritual master, the original Nārāyaṇa, in an unprecedented state, distressed by love for His beloved devotees. Seeing the Lord thus boldly revealing His true greatness, normally hidden, Brahmā was astonished. For a moment he too lost his gravity and began to cry.
