rājñā kṛṣṇānumoditāḥ
jahasa -- laughed; bhimah -- Bhima; tam -- him; drishtva -- seeing; striyah -- the women; nri-patayah -- kings; apare -- and others; nivaryamanah -- being checked; api -- even though; anga -- my dear (Parikshit); rajna -- by the King (Yudhishthira); krishna -- by Lord Krishna; anumoditah -- approved.
My dear Parikshit, Bhima laughed to see this, and so did the women, kings and others. King Yudhishthira tried to stop them, but Lord Krishna showed His approval.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti mentions that King Yudhishthira tried to check the laughter by glancing at the women and Bhima. Lord Krishna, however, gave approval with a gesture of His eyebrows. The Lord had come to the earth to remove the burden of wicked kings, and this incident was not unrelated to the Lord's purpose.
