CD 3-6 Purport

Purport by His Divine Grace
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

This is a song sung by Bhaktivinoda Thakura. The purport of this song is that Narada Muni, the great soul, says, he's playing on his string instrument called vina. Vina is a string instrument carried by Narada Muni. So he is playing on the instrument as vibrating the sound radhika-ramana. Krsna's another name is Radhika-Ramana.

So as soon as he stroke on the string, immediately all the devotees began to respond him, and it becomes a very beautiful vibration. Amiya dhara varise ghana. And when the singing was going on with the string instrument, it appeared that there is a shower of nectarean. And all the devotees then in ecstasy they were dancing to the fullest extent of their satisfaction.

Then, while they were dancing, it appeared that they became intoxicated by drinking the beverage called madhuri pūra. And as one becomes mad almost by drinking, similarly, in ecstasy, all the devotees they became mad. And some of them were crying, and some of them were dancing, and some of them, although they could not dance publicly, within their heart they were dancing.

In this way, Lord Siva immediately embraced Narada Muni, and he began to talk in ecstatic voice. And seeing Lord Siva, he's dancing with Narada Muni, Lord Brahma also joined, and he began to say, "All of you, kindly chant haribol, haribol!" In this way, gradually the king of heaven, Indra, he also joined with great satisfaction and began to dance and chant, "hari hari bol."

In this way, by the influence of transcendental vibration of the holy name of God, the whole universe became ecstatic, and Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, "When the whole universe became ecstatic. Then my desire was satisfied and I therefore pray unto the lotus feet of Rūpa Gosvami that let this chanting of hari-nama go on nicely like this."
