Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 32

Sanskrit:

श्रीनारद उवाचएवं ते निमिना पृष्टा वसुदेव महत्तमा: ।प्रतिपूज्याब्रुवन् प्रीत्या ससदस्यर्त्विजं नृपम् ॥ ३२ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-nārada uvācaevaṁ te niminā pṛṣṭāvasudeva mahattamāḥpratipūjyābruvan prītyāsa-sadasyartvijaṁ nṛpam

Translation:

Śrī Nārada said: O Vasudeva, when Mahārāja Nimi had thus inquired from the nine Yogendras about devotional service to the Lord, those best of saintly persons sincerely thanked the King for his questions and spoke to him with affection in the presence of the members of the sacrificial assembly and the brāhmaṇa priests.

Purport:

According to Śrīdhara Svāmī, not only the King but also the members of the assembly and the priests conducting the sacrifice were all devoted to hearing and chanting the glories of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The sages, beginning with Kavi, will now each speak in turn, answering the questions of the King.
