Devas in Dvārakā, Brahmā’s Petition, and Uddhava’s Appeal
Prabhāsa Departure Set-Up
अवतीर्य यदोर्वंशे बिभ्रद् रूपमनुत्तमम् । कर्माण्युद्दामवृत्तानि हिताय जगतोऽकृथा: ॥ २३ ॥
avatīrya yador vaṁśe bibhrad rūpam anuttamam karmāṇy uddāma-vṛttāni hitāya jagato ’kṛthāḥ
اے پروردگار! آپ یدو کے خاندان میں اوتار لے کر اپنا بے مثال ماورائی روپ ظاہر ہوئے، اور تمام کائنات کے بھلے کے لیے عظیم الٰہی لیلائیں انجام دیں۔
This verse states that the Lord descended in the Yadu line, revealed His supreme form, and enacted vast divine deeds for the welfare of the whole world.
Uddhava is speaking directly to Lord Sri Krishna, praising His avatara and His world-benefiting pastimes.
See divine teachings and sacred history as meant for universal upliftment, and align one’s actions with “hitāya jagataḥ”—service, compassion, and devotion that benefits others.
