TRANSLATION

Sri Sita Gosvami said: Arjuna went to Dvaraka to see Lord Sri Krsna

and other friends and also to learn from the Lord of His next activities.
PURPORT

As stated in the Bhagavad-gita, the Lord descended on earth for the
protection of the faithful and annihilation of the impious, so after the
Battle of Kuruksetra and establishment of Maharaja Yudhisthira, the
mission of the Lord was complete. The Pandavas, especially Sri Arjuna,
were eternal companions of the Lord, and therefore Arjuna went to
Dvaraka to hear from the Lord of His next program of work.
