Devas in Dvārakā, Brahmā’s Petition, and Uddhava’s Appeal
Prabhāsa Departure Set-Up
यदुवंशेऽवतीर्णस्य भवत: पुरुषोत्तम । शरच्छतं व्यतीयाय पञ्चविंशाधिकं प्रभो ॥ २५ ॥
yadu-vaṁśe ’vatīrṇasya bhavataḥ puruṣottama śarac-chataṁ vyatīyāya pañca-viṁśādhikaṁ prabho
至上人格神、主啊,您降临雅度王族,与您的奉献者共度了一百二十五个秋季。
This verse states that since Krishna’s descent into the Yadu dynasty, one hundred autumns had passed, plus an additional twenty-five—indicating a span of about 125 years.
Uddhava is acknowledging the nearing completion of Krishna’s manifest pastimes on earth and the approaching turn of events for the Yadu dynasty, expressing reverence and concern within the unfolding narrative.
It reminds us that time moves inevitably; therefore, one should prioritize bhakti and spiritual purpose rather than postponing devotion and self-realization.
