Chapter – 36 – The legend of Lord Krishna - Krishna's journey back to Dwaraka

Sutha Pauranika speaks “ Oh! Shaunakadhis, Bhishmapithamaha united his mind and intellect upon the supreme Lord and took a final breath.  The illustrious Rishis, Sages, and Pandavas surrounded were remained silent and looked at him with great admiration.  Soon, they could hear the sounds of divine musical instruments and the celestials showered flowers upon the supreme Lord.”  Thus Krishna and Pandava returns to the palace of Hastinapura advised to rule the Kingdom wisely and left to Dwaraka.  Krishna bade-farewell to Pandava who were sunk in the grief of separation,  there were  Subhadhra,  Dhraupadhi Kunthi, Virataputhri, Gandhari, Dhritarashtra, Gauthama, Vrikodhara,  Dhaumya, assembled around Krishna, was preparing to leave on his chariot. Pandavas could not bear the separation from Devakisutha who was a constant companion of them, had a wonderful time laughing together and sharing meals together. 

The women assembled were become inconsolable, praised Krishna “Oh! Purusha, Oh! Purathana, we have understood your real nature as all-pervasive, Oh! Jagathathma, you are the protector of the soul in the three states of sleep, awaken, and dream.  Oh! Bhagavan you have created this Prakrithi with your Maya, you have no specific forms, even though you have endless names and assume various forms to elevate the Jeeva. Oh! Bhagavan, whoever practices control over senses and meditate upon you with intense devotion and faith would get relieved from the impurities of the mind.   Whoever sung in praise of your glorious myths, listening and reading to your various amusements, will not hurl into the cycles of rebirth.  Oh! Bhagavan, you are assuming various forms to elevate the souls in every yuga, whenever the Jeeva commits Adharma/forgetting your presence as a soul in them, due to its ignorance. Oh! Shriyapathi, your birth in the clan of Yadavas to elevate the Jeeva, your marvelous appearance, will be remembered the world and its people always.”   Thus the women who have intense faith and devotion upon Lord Krishna bade-farewell to him, eventually his chariot proceeded to Dwaraka.
