themselves.
PURPORT

Lord Sri Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead is ad infinitum,
more powerful than the most powerful sun of our experience. Millions
and billions of suns are created by Him and annihilated by Him within
His one breathing period. In the material world the sun is considered to be
the source of all productivity and material energy, and due to the sun only
we can have the necessities of life. Therefore, during the personal presence
of the Lord on the earth, all paraphernalia of our peace and prosperity,
especially religion and knowledge, were in full display because of the
Lord’s presence, just as there is a full flood of light in the presence of the
glowing sun. Maharaja Yudhisthira observed some discrepancies in his
kingdom, and therefore he became very anxious about Arjuna, who was
long absent, and there was also no news about Dvaraka’s well-being. He
suspected the disappearance of Lord Krsna, otherwise there would have
been no possibility of fearful omens.
