Now I have seen Your feet, which grant liberation to Your devotees, which even Lord Brahma and other great personalities of unfathomable intelligence can only meditate upon within their hearts, and which those who have fallen into the well of material existence resort to for deliverance. Please favor me so that I may constantly think of You as I travel about. Please grant Me the power to remember You.

PURPORT

Lord Krishna had asked Narada Muni, "What can We do for you?" and here Narada answers. Narada Muni is a pure devotee of Lord Krishna, and thus his request is sublime.
