sri-naradah uvaca-Sri Narada Muni said; natva-offering my obeisances; bhagavate-unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead; ajaya-ever existing, never born; lokanam-throughout the entire universe; dharma-setave-who protects religious principles; vaksye-I shall explain; sanatanam-eternal; dharmam-occupational duty; narayana-mukhat-from the mouth of Narayana; srutam-which I have heard.

TRANSLATION

Sri Narada Muni said: After first offering my obeisances unto Lord Krsna, the protector of the religious principles of all living entities, let me explain the principles of the eternal religious system, of which I have heard from the mouth of Narayana.

PURPORT

The word aja refers to Krsna, who explains in Bhagavad-gita (4.6), ajo 'pi sann avyayatma: "I am ever existing, and thus I never take birth. There is no change in My existence."
