Translation
At the appearance of Nara-Nārāyaṇa, the entire world became filled of joy. Everyone's minds, all directions, the air, the rivers and the mountains became pleased.
When Nara-Nārāyaṇa appeared, the world filled with joy, minds became tranquil, even the air and rivers grew pleasant. Genuine spiritual events shift atmosphere itself. Your inner state contributes to or detracts from the world's air.
