Sanskrit:

श्रीभगवानुवाचमा मा वैदर्भ्यसूयेथा जाने त्वां मत्परायणाम् ।त्वद्वच: श्रोतुकामेन क्ष्वेल्याचरितमङ्गने ॥ २९ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-bhagavān uvācamā mā vaidarbhy asūyethājāne tvāṁ mat-parāyaṇāmtvad-vacaḥ śrotu-kāmenakṣvelyācaritam aṅgane

Translation:

The Supreme Lord said: O Vaidarbhī, do not be displeased with Me. I know that you are fully devoted to Me. I only spoke in jest, dear lady, because I wanted to hear what you would say.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, Lord Kṛṣṇa spoke the present verse because He thought that lovely Rukmiṇī might be afraid He would again say something to disturb her, or that she might be angry at what He had done.
