Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Understand that I enticed you with benedictions just to prove that you would not be deceived. The intelligence of My unalloyed devotees is never diverted by material blessings. KB 10.51.59 “My dear King,” Lord Kṛṣṇa continued, “I offered to give you any kind of benediction just to test how much you have advanced in devotional service. Now I can see that you are on the platform of the pure devotees, for your mind is not disturbed by any greedy or lusty desires of this material world.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Know that by offering you benedictions, I am showing other worshipers how you will not be distracted (apramadaya) by such things. Or another meaning is: Know that you will not be distracted, because the intelligence of the devotee is never attracted to material enjoyment.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Understand that you, tempted by benedictions, would not deviate. The intelligence of my devotee, who is devoid of other worship and other desires, is not absorbed in material enjoyment. To show this I tempted you.

Purport (Sanatana Goswami)

You would not become insane or obstructed (apramattāya) by attainment of material benedictions. You would always be careful to ignore benedictions (apramattāya), because the intelligence of devotees is never pierced by benedictions. May you never be afflicted at any time by lack of bhakti.
