Vishnu suggested that he wander as a gandharva celestial musician singing the praises of the Lord until the time of Vishnu's incarnation as Krishna. At that time he should remind Vishnu (as Krishna) of the incident. When Vishnu came to earth as Krishna and was reminded, he sent Narada to various experts until his command of music was almost perfected. Then Krishna himself taught him the best forms of devotional music and song.
