- He, the lord of Dvārakā, protector of all beings, has appeared in the form of time to destroy the demons.

- O Arjuna! Are our relatives, the Madhus, Bhojas, Daśārhas, Arhas, Sātvatas, Andhakas and Vṛṣṇīs well in Dvārakā?
- Is Lord Govinda, who is kind to the brāhmaṇas and affectionate to the devotees, happily presiding over the Sudharmā hall surrounded by his friends in the city?

- Giver of shelter, did you perhaps reject brāhmaṇas, children, cows, elders, invalids and women, and other living beings, who took shelter of you?

- When I remember the words of Govinda which were suitable to place, time and subject, and which calmed the pain in my heart, those words break my heart.

- Regarding both burdens equally, the Lord separated himself from that portion of the Yadus by which he removed the burden of the earth, like removing a thorn with another thorn.

- Son of Surabhī! You have four legs. Who has cut off three of your legs? There should never be such a condition in the state ruled by kings following Kṛṣṇa.
- O best of men! I do not know the person who is the cause of my suffering, since I am bewildered by different statements of scripture.
- Some say the self is the cause of suffering. Others say planets are the cause of suffering. Others say karma is the cause. Others say the inherent property of matter is the cause.
- It is certain that the course of the Lord’s māyā is beyond the thought and words of the living entities.

- When implored again, the king gave the place where there was gold. In that place there will be untruthfulness, intoxication, illicit sex, pride, and enmity.

- vipra-śāpopalambhanaṁ nāma

TRANSLATION
Not waiting for his brothers, not hearing anything as if deaf, he left the house. Meditating on Kṛṣṇa in the heart, he went in the northern direction where great souls had previously gone, from which one does not return.
COMMENTARY
He did not wait for his brothers (anavekṣamāṇaḥ). He decided to carry out the method taught by the Lord in man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ to attain Kṛṣṇa in some solitary place, without disturbance, since he had now given up all responsibilities. This verse describes his action to achieve that. Param brahman means Kṛṣṇa.
|| 1.15.45 ||
sarve tam anunirjagmur bhrātaraḥ kṛta-niścayāḥ |
kalinādharma-mitreṇa dṛṣṭvā spṛṣṭāḥ prajā bhuvi ||
TRANSLATION
Seeing that Kali, the friend of irreligion, had influenced the citizens on earth, all his brothers decided to follow him.
COMMENTARY
They decided, “Let us also take up his mentality to attain Kṛṣṇa.”
|| 1.15.46 ||
te sādhu-kṛta-sarvārthā jñātvātyantikam ātmanaḥ |
manasā dhārayām āsur vaikuṇṭha-caraṇāmbujam ||
TRANSLATION
They who had performed all duties such as dharma and artha as it should be done, understanding the endless nature of those duties, meditated on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa with their minds.
COMMENTARY
They performed everything such as dharma and artha as it should be done (sādhu-kṛta-sarvārthā), and understanding that these duties were endless for them, they concentrated on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa with their minds. Śrīdhara Svāmī takes ātyantikam to modify Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet. “Having executed artha, dharma, kāma and mokṣa perfectly, understanding the infinite nature of Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, they meditated on those feet.”
|| 1.15.47-48 ||
tad-dhyānodriktayā bhaktyā viśuddha-dhiṣaṇāḥ pare |
tasmin nārāyaṇa-pade ekānta-matayo gatim ||
avāpur duravāpāṁ te asadbhir viṣayātmabhiḥ |
vidhūta-kalmaṣāsthānaṁ virajenātmanaiva hi ||
TRANSLATION
Having pure intelligence, with minds solely on the Lord, whose portion is Nārāyaṇa, by profuse bhakti with meditation on Kṛṣṇa, they attained the goal, unattainable by the materialists, the pure abode of the Lord, with their pure bodies.
COMMENTARY
They had intelligence unmixed with jñāna, yoga or other things. Thus they were fixed in intelligence (ekānta-matayaḥ). What was the goal? They attained the dwelling place free of all faults (vidhūta-kalmaṣāsthānam). Or this can refer to Kṛṣṇa’s abode where there was the Sudharmā hall. How did they attain it? They attained it in their same spotless bodies (virajenātmanā) devoid of their devatā expansions such as Yamarāja (for Yudhiṣṭhira). They did not give up their bodies.
|| 1.15.49 ||
viduro ’pi parityajya prabhāse deham ātmanaḥ |
kṛṣṇāveśena tac-cittaḥ pitṛbhiḥ sva-kṣayaṁ yayau ||
