Krṣṇa,  the Supreme Personality of Godhead
and after performing all this routine work, he took his bath. This bath at the end of the sacrifice is also technical. It is called the  avabhṛtha  bath.
Lord Krṣṇa thus enabled the performance of the Rājasūya  yajña  arranged by King Yudhiṣṭhira to be successfully completed, and, being requested by His cousins and relatives, He remained in Hastināpura for a few months more. Although King Yudhiṣṭhira and his brothers were not willing to have Lord Krṣṇa leave Hastināpura, Krṣṇa arranged to take permission from the King to return to Dvārakā, and thus He returned home along with His queens and ministers.
The story of the fall of Jaya and Vijaya from the Vaikuṇṭha planets to the material world is described in the Seventh Canto of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam . The killing of Śiśupāla has a direct link with that narration of Jaya and Vijaya, but the most important instruction that we get from this incident is that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, being absolute, can give salvation to everyone, whether one acts as His enemy or as His friend. It is therefore a misconception that the Lord acts with someone in the relationship of a friend and with someone else in the relationship of an enemy. His being an enemy or friend is always on the absolute platform. There is no material distinction.
After King Yudhiṣṭhira took his bath after the sacrifice and stood in the midst of all the learned sages and  brāhmaṇas , he seemed exactly like the King of heaven and thus looked very beautiful. King Yudhiṣṭhira sufficiently rewarded all the demigods who participated in the  yajña , and being greatly satisfied, all of them left praising the King's activities and glorifying Lord Krṣṇa.
When Śukadeva Gosvāmī was narrating these incidents of Krṣṇa's killing Śiśupāla and describing the successful execution of the Rājasūya  yajña  by Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, he pointed out also that after the successful termination of the  yajña  there was only one person who was not happy. He was Duryodhana. Duryodhana by nature was very envious because of his sinful life, and he appeared in the dynasty of the Kurus as a chronic disease personified in order to destroy the whole family.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī assured Mahārāja Parīkṣit that the pastimes of Lord Krṣṇa—the killing of Śiśupāla and Jarāsandha and the releasing of the imprisoned kings—are all transcendental vibrations, and anyone who hears these narrations from the authorized persons will be immediately freed from all the reactions of the sinful activities of his life.
Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Second Volume, Nineteenth Chapter of Krṣṇa, "The Deliverance of Śiśupāla."
