Text 14] Departure of Lord Krsna for Dvaraka 525

sarve te’nimisair akgais
tam anu druta-cetasah
viksantah sneha-sambaddha
vicelus tatra tatra ha

sarve—all; te—they; animisaih—without twinkling of the eves; aksaih—
hy the eye; tam anu—after Him; druta-cetasah— melted heart; viksantah—
looking upon Him; sneha-sambaddhah—bound by pure affection; viceluh—
began to move; tatra tatra—here and there; ha—so they did.

TRANSLATION

All their hearts were melting for Him on the pot of attraction. They
looked at Him without blinking their eyes, and they moved hither and
thither in perplexity.

PURPORT

Krsna is naturally attractive for all living beings because He is the chief
eternal amongst all eternals. He alone is the maintainer of the many eter-
nals. This is stated in the Kathopanisad Veda, and thus one can obtain
permanent peace and prosperity by revival of one’s eternal relation with
Him, now forgotten under the spell of maya or the illusory energy of the
Lord. Once this relation is slightly revived, the conditioned soul at once
becomes freed from the illusion of material energy and becomes mad after
the association of the Lord. This association is made possible not only in
personal contact with the Lord, but also by association of His name, fame,
form and quality, and Srimad-Bhdgavatam trains the conditioned soul to
this stage of perfection by submissive hearing from the pure devotee.
