PURPORT
Narada is known as the son of Brahma as much as Lord Krishna is the son of Vasudeva. The Personality of Godhead and His liberated devotees like Narada appear in the material world by the same process. As is said in the Bhagwat Geeta that the birth and activities of the Lord are all transcendental. Therefore, according to authorised opinion the birth of Narada as the son of Brahma is also a transcendental pastime of the devotee. His appearance and disappearance are practically on the same level as that of the Lord. The Lord and His devotees are therefore simultaneously one and different as spiritual entities. They belong to the same category of transcendence.
