SB 10.60.58

sri-suka uvaca

evam saurata-samlapair

 bhagavan jagad-isvarah

sva-rato ramaya reme

 nara-lokam vidambayan

Translation:

Sukadeva Gosvami said: And so the self-satisfied Supreme Lord of the universe enjoyed with the goddess of fortune, engaging her in lovers’ talks and thus imitating the ways of human society.

Purport:

The word vidambayan means “imitating” and also “ridiculing.” The Lord acted like a husband of this world, but His pastimes are transcendental and expose the perverted nature of mundane activities aimed at bodily sense gratification.

SB 10.60.59

tathanyasam api vibhur

 grhesu grhavan iva

asthito grha-medhiyan

 dharman loka-gurur harih

Translation:

The almighty Lord Hari, preceptor of all the worlds, similarly behaved like a conventional householder in the palaces of His other queens, performing the religious duties of a family man.

Purport:

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Tenth Canto, Sixtieth Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Lord Krsna Teases Queen Rukmini.”
