Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 58


Sanskrit:

श्रीशुक उवाचएवं सौरतसंलापैर्भगवान् जगदीश्वर: ।स्वरतो रमया रेमे नरलोकं विडम्बयन् ॥ ५८ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-śuka uvācaevaṁ saurata-saṁlāpairbhagavān jagad-īśvaraḥsva-rato ramayā remenara-lokaṁ viḍambayan

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: And so the self-satisfied Supreme Lord of the universe enjoyed with the goddess of fortune, engaging her in lovers’ talks and thus imitating the ways of human society.

Purport:

The word viḍambayan means “imitating” and also “ridiculing.” The Lord acted like a husband of this world, but His pastimes are transcendental and expose the perverted nature of mundane activities aimed at bodily sense gratification.
