Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King! Nārada brought the dead son into the vision of all the lamenting relatives and then spoke as follows. In the Sixteenth Chapter, Citraketu is enlightened by the words of his dead son, receives a mantra from Nārada, praises Saṅkarṣaṇa and receives knowledge from Saṅkarṣaṇa. Jṣātīnām has an accusative meaning (Nārada showed the lamenting relatives).
