आतोद्यं वितुदञ्श्लोकान् सत्रे ऽगायत्प्रचेतसाम् ॥ ४० ॥
mahimanam-glories; vilokya-observing; asya-of Dhruva Maharaja; naradah-the great sage Narada; bhagavan-equally as exalted like the Supreme Personality of Godhead; rsih-the saint; atodyam-the stringed instrument, vina; vitudan-playing on; slokan-verses; satre-in the sacrificial arena; agayat-chanted; pracetasam-of the Pracetas.
After observing the glories of
Dhruva Maharaja, the great sage
Narada, playing his
vina, went to the sacrificial arena of the Pracetas and very happily chanted the following three verses.
The great sage
Narada was the spiritual master of
Dhruva Maharaja. Certainly he was very glad to see Dhruva's glories. As a father is very happy to see the son's advancement in every respect, so the spiritual master is very happy to observe the ascendancy of his disciple.
