Kakudmī submitted.
When Kakudmī arrived there, Lord Brahmā was engaged in hearing musical performances by the Gandharvas and had not a moment to talk with him. Therefore Kakudmī waited, and at the end of the musical performances he offered his obeisances to Lord Brahmā and thus submitted his long-standing desire.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Since a Gandharva was engaged in performing, Lord Brahmā was busy. After a moment, when the Gandharva finished, Kakudmī offered his respects to Brahmā and expressed his desire. Brahmā did not have time (alabdha-kṣaṇaḥ). When the Gandharva was finished, he spoke to Brahmā (ādyam).
