TRANSLATION
After expiry of a peiod of one thousands times of fortythree lacs of solar years, when Brahma awoke to create again by the will of the Lord, all the rishis like Morichi, Angira atri etc. were created from the transcendental body of the Lord and myself also appeared along with them.
PURPORT
The duration of a day in the life of Brahmaji is four hundred and thirty two crores of solar years. It is stated also in the Bhagwat Geeta. So far another four hundred and thirty two crores of years Brahmaji rests in Yoganidra within the body of Garbhodaksayee Vishnu the generator of Brahma. Thus after the sleeping period of Brahma when there was again creation by the will of the Lord through the agency of Brahma, all the great Rishis again appeared from different parts of the transcendental body and Narada also appeared. This means Narada appeared in the same transcendental body just like a man awakes from sleep in the same body. Sri Narada is eternally free to move in any part of the transcendental and material creation of the Almighty. He appears and disappears in His own transcendental body without any difference of body and soul unlike it is in the case of other conditioned beings.
