Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 13


Sanskrit:

अवाद्यन्त विचित्राणि वादित्राणि महोत्सवे ।कृष्णे विश्वेश्वरेऽनन्ते नन्दस्य व्रजमागते ॥ १३ ॥

ITRANS:

avādyanta vicitrāṇivāditrāṇi mahotsavekṛṣṇe viśveśvare ’nantenandasya vrajam āgate

Translation:

Now that the all-pervading, unlimited Lord Kṛṣṇa, the master of the cosmic manifestation, had arrived within the estate of Mahārāja Nanda, various types of musical instruments resounded to celebrate the great festival.

Purport:

The Lord says in Bhagavad-gītā (4.7): “Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion — at that time I descend Myself.” Whenever Kṛṣṇa comes, once in a day of Brahmā, He comes to the house of Nanda Mahārāja in Vṛndāvana. Kṛṣṇa is the master of all creation (sarva-loka-maheśvaram). Therefore, not only in the neighborhood of Nanda Mahārāja’s estate, but all over the universe — and in all the other universes — musical sounds celebrated the auspicious arrival of the Lord.
