O swan gliding in the lakes of Vraja-vrasis’ love, I wish that I may wander everywhere always chanting, drinking the nectar of Your names. Those most sweet names arise from the ocean of Gokula and spread the glories of Your infinitely varied dress and ways of acting. As I wander, behaving like a madman, may I distribute joy to everyone in all the worlds.

Brihad Bhagavatamrta
Part 1 Chapter 7 Texts 133-134

svayam prayagasya dasasvamedha-
tirthadike dvaravati-parante
sambhasitanam visaye bhramitva
purnarthatam srimad-anugrahena
vipradinam srotu-kamo munindro
harsat krsnasyananad eva saksat
evam matah prarthayam asa hrdyam
tasmin ramyodara-simhe varam prak

TRANSLATION
From Dasasvamedha-tirtha in Prayaga to Dvaraka, Narada had wandered. And he had spoken with devotees–the brahmana at Prayaga, and all the others–who by the Lord’s divine grace had each achieved perfection. Feeling great pleasure, Narada, the king of sages, now wanted to hear of this perfection directly from Lord Krsna’s own mouth. Dear mother, Lord Krsna is the all-attractive lion among generous benefactors. Now, therefore, Narada begged from Him the first blessing he wished to receive.
