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

Significado

As Srila Prabhupada points out in Krishna, the phrase artha-kama-dharmeshu indicates that Lord Krishna was behaving like an ordinary householder deeply concerned with economic development, sense gratification and religious duties. Narada could understand the Lord's purpose, and he was most pleased by Sri Krishna's exemplary behavior. Thus fully enlivened in his pure Krishna consciousness, he departed.
