Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 43


Sanskrit:

इत्यर्थकामधर्मेषु कृष्णेन श्रद्धितात्मना ।सम्यक् सभाजित: प्रीतस्तमेवानुस्मरन् ययौ ॥ ४३ ॥

ITRANS:

ity artha-kāma-dharmeṣukṛṣṇena śraddhitātmanāsamyak sabhājitaḥ prītastam evānusmaran yayau

Translation:

Lord Kṛṣṇa greatly honored Nārada, faithfully presenting him with gifts related to economic prosperity, sense gratification and religious duties. Thus fully satisfied, the sage departed, constantly remembering the Lord.

Purport:

As Śrīla Prabhupāda points out in Kṛṣṇa, the phrase artha-kāma-dharmeṣu indicates that Lord Kṛṣṇa was behaving like an ordinary householder deeply concerned with economic development, sense gratification and religious duties. Nārada could understand the Lord’s purpose, and he was most pleased by Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s exemplary behavior. Thus fully enlivened in his pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he departed.
