athovāca hṛṣīkeśaṁ
nāradaḥ prahasann iva
yoga-māyodayaṁ vīkṣya
mānuṣīm īyuṣo gatim

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Having thus seen this display of the Lord’s Yoga-māyā, Nārada mildly laughed and then addressed Lord Hṛṣīkeśa, who was adopting the behavior of a human being.

PURPORT

According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, Nārada fully understood the Lord’s omniscience, and thus when he saw the Lord trying to find out the mood of His ministers, moving about in disguise, Nārada could not help laughing. But remembering the Lord’s supreme position, he somewhat constrained his laughter.
