Now at that moment, Kacchulla Nārada—who was exceedingly gentle and modest in appearance, but whose innermost heart was deceitful; who presented himself as an impartial mediator, yet was soothing, calm, pleasing to behold, and handsome; who wore a clean piece of bark cloth; whose chest was adorned with an upper garment of black antelope skin; who held a staff and water pot in his hand; whose head was radiant with a crown of matted locks; whose torso bore a sacred thread, a rosary, a belt of muñja grass, and a bark garment; who held a lute in his hand; who loved celestial music; who was foremost among the earth-dwellers; who was renowned for his fame in many sciences among the Vidyādharas, such as the concealing, obscuring, flying down, flying up, vanishing, terrifying, possessing, informing, journeying, and paralyzing sciences; who was dear to Rāma and Keśava, beloved to the hearts and an intimate associate of Pradyumna, Pratīpa, Sāmba, Aniruddha, Niṣaṭha, Unmuka, Sāraṇa, Gada, Sumukha, Durmukha, and other Yādavas, and of the three and a half crores of young princes; who loved strife, battles, and tumult; who took delight in feuds and loved to watch hundreds of clashes on battlefields; who was constantly seeking out quarrels everywhere in all directions; who was a troublemaker for the foremost hero-men among the Daśārhas that measured the strength of the three worlds—having invoked that divine [science of] movement, adept at moving through the sky, leaped up into the air, traversing the firmament, looking down upon the calm earth, heavily populated with realms adorned with thousands of villages, mines, towns, hamlets, poor villages, isolated settlements, port-mouths, emporia, and mountain villages; he reached lovely Hatthiṇāura and swiftly descended with great velocity right into the palace of King Pāṇḍu.
