śrīvāse - unto Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura; kahena - says; prabhu - the Lord; kariyā - becoming; viṣāda - morose; loka - people; bhaya pāya - become afraid; mora - My; haya - there is; aparādha - offense.

The Lord became morose and said to Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura, “When I adopted the mood of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, people were greatly afraid. Therefore I stopped, since causing fear among people is an offense.”
