English translation:

(28) In this way the Lord created mischief for everyone, but He did not even look at women from the corner of His eyes.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Although the Lord often engaged in mischievous childish activities, He never encouraged any misbehavior in connection with women. What to speak of enjoying women, if a living entity even considers that women are meant to be enjoyed, his moral and spiritual life are ruined—this was

demonstrated by the Lord, who is jagad-guru and teacher of all, by remaining aloof from all kinds of association with women.
