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.
