Śrimad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 5]
daughter is no longer present, this also is due to unseen destiny. Destiny is the ultimate controller of everyone. One who knows this is never bewildered.
PURPORT
Nanda Mahārāja consoled his younger brother Vasudeva by saying that destiny is ultimately responsible for everything. Vasudeva should not be unhappy that his many children had been killed by Kaṁsa or that the last child, the daughter, had gone to the heavenly planets.
TEXT 31
श्रीवसुदेव उवाच
करो वै वार्षिको दत्तो राज्ञे दृष्टा वयं च वः । नेह स्थेयं बहुतिथं सन्त्युत्पाताश्च गोकुले ॥३१॥
śrī-vasudeva uvāca karo vai vārṣiko datto rājñe drṣṭā vayaṁ ca vaḥ neha stheyaṁ bahu-tithaṁ santy utpātāś ca gokule
śrī-vasudevaḥ uvāca—Śrī Vasudeva replied;  karaḥ —the taxes;  vai —indeed;  vārṣikaḥ —yearly;  dattaḥ —have already been paid by you;  rājñe —to the King;  drṣṭāḥ —have been seen;  vayaṁ ca —both of us;  vaḥ —of you;  na —not;  iha —in this place;  stheyaṁ —should be staying;  bahu-tithaṁ —for many days;  santi —may be;  utpātāḥ ca —many disturbances;  gokule —in your home, Gokula.
TRANSLATION
Vasudeva said to Nanda Mahārāja: Now, my dear brother, since you have paid the annual taxes to Kaṁsa and have also seen me, do not stay in this place for many days. It is better to return to Gokula, since I know that there may be some disturbances there.
