216 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
to become blind and puffed up, but he should take care of his friends and
relatives.”

When Vasudeva was speaking to Nanda Maharaja in this way, he was
influenced by a great feeling for the friendship of Nanda Maharaja and the
beneficial activities executed by King Nanda on his behalf. As such, his
eyes filled with tears, and he began to cry. Desiring to please his friend
Vasudeva and being affectionately bound with love for Lord Krsna and
Balarama, Nanda Maharaja passed three months in their association. At
the end of this time, all the members of Yadu dynasty tried to please the
inhabitants of Vrndavana to their hearts’ content. The members of the
Yadu dynasty tried to satisfy Nanda Maharaja and his associates by
offering them clothing, ornaments, and many other valuable articles, and
they all became fully satisfied. Vasudeva, Ugrasena, Lord Krsna, Lord
Balarama, Uddhava and all other members of the Yadu dynasty presented
their individual gifts to Nanda Maharaja and his associates. After Nanda
Maharaja received these farewell presentations, he, along with his associates,
started for Vrajabhimi, Vrndavana. The minds of the inhabitants of
Vrndavana remained, however, with Krsna and Balarama, and therefore all
of them started for Vrndavana without their minds.

When the members of the Vrsni family saw all their friends and visitors
departing, they observed that the rainy season was approaching, and thus
they decided to return to Dvaraka. They were fully satisfied, for they
regarded Krsna as everything. When they returned to Dvaraka, they began
with great satisfaction to describe the sacrifice performed by Vasudeva,
their meeting with various friends and well-wishers, and various other
incidences which occurred during their travels in the places of pilgrimage.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Second Volume, Twenty-
Ninth Chapter, of Krsna, “Sacrificial Ceremonies Performed by Vasudeva.”
