daughter is no longer present, this also is due to unseen destiny.
Destiny is the ultimate controller of everyone. One who knows this
is never bewildered.
PURPORT

Nanda Maharaja consoled his younger brother Vasudeva by saying
that destiny is ultimately responsible for everything. Vasudeva should
not be unhappy that his many children had been killed by Karnsa or that
the last child, the daughter, had gone to the heavenly planets.

TRANSLATION

Vasudeva said to Nanda Maharaja: Now, my dear brother, since

not stay in this place for many days. It is better to return to
Gokula, since I know that there may be some disturbances there.
