sri-narada uvaca
nati-citram idam vipra
vasudevo bubhutsaya
krsnam matvarbhakam yan nah
prcchati sreya atmanah
Translation:
Sri Narada Muni said: O brahmanas, it is not so amazing that in his eagerness to know, Vasudeva has asked us about his ultimate benefit, for he considers Krsna a mere boy.
Purport:
Srila Jiva Gosvami relates Narada’s thoughts: Sri Narada understood how Vasudeva, in line with his mood of pretending to be an ordinary householder, asked the sages about karma-yoga, although he had already attained spiritual goals even great yogis and rsis cannot achieve. But Narada was still concerned that Vasudeva might create an awkward mood by treating Lord Krsna as a mere child in the presence of all the sages. Narada and the other sages felt obliged to maintain their attitude of reverence toward Lord Krsna, so how could they ignore Him and presume to answer Vasudeva themselves? To avoid this embarrassment, Narada took this opportunity to remind everyone present of Sri Krsna’s absolute supremacy.
