Translation: 

 

There he saw the Lord playing at dice with His beloved consort and His friend Uddhava. Lord Krsna worshiped Narada by standing up, offering him a seat, and so on, and then, as if He did not know, asked him, “When did you arrive? What can needy persons like Us do for those who are full in themselves? In any case, My dear brahmana, please make My life auspicious.” Thus addressed, Narada was astonished. He simply stood up silently and went to another palace.

 

Purport: 

 

In Krsna, Srila Prabhupada explains that when Narada arrived at the second palace, “Lord Krsna acted as if He did not know what had happened in the palace of Rukmini.” Narada understood that Lord Krsna was simultaneously present in both palaces, performing different activities, so “he simply left the palace silently, in great astonishment over the Lord’s activities.”
