Translation

Generally both of us used to live together in the matter of sleeping, sitting, loitering and at the time of advertising oneself for acts of chivalry. Sometimes if there was any irregularity I used to reproach Him by saying "my friend you are very truthful." Even in those hours of minimising His value, the Supreme Soul as He is, He used to tolerate all those utterings of mine excusing me exactly like a true friend does to a true friend or the father does to his son.

Purport

The Supreme Lord Shri Krishna being all perfect His transcendental pastimes with His pure devotees never lack in any respect either as a friend, son or lover. The Lord relishes reproaches of friends, parents or fiancees more palatably than the Vedic hymns which are offered to Him by great learned scholar and religionists in an official fashion.
