vistarenatmano yogam vibhutim ca janardana bhuyah kathaya trptir hi shrinvato nasti me ’mrtam
Translation
O Janardana, again please describe in detail the mystic power of Your opulences. I am never satiated in hearing about You, for the more I hear the more I want to taste the nectar of Your words.
Commentary by Srila Prabhupada
A similar statement was made to Suta Gosvami by the rsis of Naimisaranya, headed by Saunaka. That statement is:
vayam tu na vitrpyama uttama-sloka-vikrame yac chrinvatam rasa-jnanam svadu svadu pade pade
“One can never be satiated even though one continuously hears the transcendental pastimes of Krishna, who is glorified by excellent prayers. Those who have entered into a transcendental relationship with Krishna relish at every step the descriptions of the pastimes of the Lord.” (Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.1.19) Thus Arjuna is interested in hearing about Krishna, and specifically how He remains as the all-pervading Supreme Lord.
Now as far as amritam, nectar, is concerned, any narration or statement concerning Krishna is just like nectar. And this nectar can be perceived by practical experience. Modern stories, fiction and histories are different from the transcendental pastimes of the Lord in that one will tire of hearing mundane stories but one never tires of hearing about Krishna. It is for this reason only that the history of the whole universe is replete with references to the pastimes of the incarnations of Godhead. The Puranas are histories of bygone ages that relate the pastimes of the various incarnations of the Lord. In this way the reading matter remains forever fresh, despite repeated readings.
Commentary by Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur
"I have already said that I am the source of everything and everything moves because of me: aham sarvasya prabhavah. Therefore you should understand that everything is my vibhuti. By saying, "Knowing this, they worship me" (iti matva bhanjante mam) I have indicated bhakti yoga."
"But speak in detail about your vibhutis and about bhakti. O Janardana, in people such as me (jana), by the sweetness of your beneficial instructions, you create longing, you make us agitated (ardana), and you make us beg. What can we do? For me, hearing nectar in the form of your instructions, relishing through a tongue in the form of my ear, there is no satiation."
