382 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 1, Ch. 8

Although Lord Sri Krsna was always offered the respects of the Supreme
Lord from all responsible quarters, the Lord never deviated from the
customary usages between the four orders of society. The Lord purposely
observed all these social customs so that others would follow Him in the
future.

gantum—just desiring to start; krtamatih—having decided; brahman—O
brahmana; dvarakam—towards Dvaraka; ratham—on the chariot; dsthitah—
seated; upalebhe—saw; abhidhavantim—coming hurriedly; uttaram—Uttara;
bhaya-vihvalam—being afraid.

TRANSLATION

As soon as He seated Himself on the chariot to start for Dvaraka, He
saw Uttara hurrying toward Him in fear.

PURPORT

All members of the family of the Pandavas were completely dependent
on the protection of the Lord, and therefore the Lord also protected all
of them in all circumstances. The Lord protects everyone, but one who
depends completely upon Him is especially looked after by the Lord. The
father is more attentive to the little son who is exclusively dependent on
the father.
