Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti supplies the following conversation:
Krsna: Is it for the purpose of dining that you’re inviting Me to your house?
Trivakra: I simply can’t leave You here.
Krsna: But people here on the King’s road will misconstrue what you’re saying and laugh. Therefore please don’t speak like this.
Trivakra: I can’t help being agitated. You made the mistake of touching me. It’s not my fault.
