prÄyo gá¹›heá¹£u te cittam
akÄma-vihitaá¹ tathÄ
naivÄti-prÄ«yase vidvan
dhaneá¹£u viditaá¹ hi me
prÄyaḥ - for the most part; gá¹›heá¹£u - in household affairs; te - your; cittam - mind; akÄma-vihitam - uninfluenced by material desires; tathÄ - also; na - not; eva - indeed; ati - very much; prÄ«yase - you take pleasure; vidvan - O wise one; dhaneá¹£u - in the pursuit of material wealth; viditam - it is known; hi - indeed; me - by Me.
Even though you are mostly involved in household affairs, your mind is not affected by material desires. Nor, O learned one, do you take much pleasure in the pursuit of material wealth. This I am well aware of.
Lord Kṛṣṇa here reveals that in fact He was well aware of His friend’s situation. SudÄmÄ was actually learned and spiritually advanced, and therefore he was not interested in ordinary sense gratification, as is the common man.
