91 - Devaki and Vasudeva speak to Nanda

Sri Krishna said- One meets with someone and faces separation from him and because of the deeds he meets with him again. Therefore, who can oppose it, О father, I am shortly sending Uddhava to Mathura and you would come to know about everything. He would speak there about my arrival of otherwise. He, after arriving there would meet Yashoda, Rohini, cowherdesses, the cow and Radha who is dearer to me than my life. In the meantime, Vasudeva, Devaki, Baladeva, Akrura and Uddhava arrived there.

Vasudeva said- О Nanda, you are great intellectual, you are my intimate friend and brother. Shedding away the attachment, you go back to your house, this boy belongs to you as much as he belongs to us. О brother, this city of Mathura is the gate of Gokula, whenever there are any festivities you would surely arrive and meet your sons. 

Devaki said- О Nanda, this Krishna is as much your son as he is of both of us; then why your face is getting faded? He remained in your house for eleven years and was brought up here. If he is here for sometimes then why do you get worried 

It would be better if you stay here with the boy for some time in Mathura and looking at his moon like face, make your birth quite graceful and successful.

Sri Krishna said- O Uddhava, you go to Gokula with pleasure and your desire would be fulfilled there. Reaching there, you meet mother Yashoda, Rohini, the cowherds, Radhika, cowherdesses and enlighten them with the divine knowledge I have imparted here.

Since my mother has ordained Nanda would stay here with pleasure for sometimes. You inform mother Yashoda about my stay here.

Thus, speaking lord Krishna accompanied by his parents, Balabhadra and Akrura entered into the palace.

O Nanda, thereafter Uddhava spending the night in Mathura, departed in the early morning for the charming Vrundavana.
