Shloka 58
Kṛṣṇa’s Departure, Auspicious Omens, and the Opening of the Uttaṅka Dialogue (कृष्णप्रयाण-निमित्त-उत्तङ्कसंवाद-प्रारम्भः)
ततो ययौ शत्रुगणप्रमर्दनः शिनिप्रवीरानुगतो जनार्दन: । यथा निहत्यारिगणं शतक्रतु- दिव॑ तथा5<नर्त पुरी प्रतापवान्
tato yayau śatrugaṇapramardanaḥ śinipravīrānugato janārdanaḥ | yathā nihatya arigaṇaṃ śatakratuḥ divaṃ tathā anarta-purīṃ pratāpavān ||
于是，阇那尔达那（圣奎师那）——摧灭敌军之雄——在尸尼族最杰出的勇士随从之下启程，威光赫奕，向阿那尔多之城（德瓦拉卡）而去；正如百祭主（因陀罗）诛尽敌阵之后，升返天界一般。

The verse highlights the ideal of completing a difficult, conflict-laden duty and then returning with restraint and dignity. By likening Kṛṣṇa’s departure to Indra’s ascent after victory, it suggests that power is justified when used to subdue unrighteous opposition and then laid down without further aggression.
Yudhiṣṭhira describes Kṛṣṇa (Janārdana), accompanied by the leading Śini warriors (including Sātyaki as implied by the traditional context), departing for Anarta’s city—Dvārakā—after crushing enemy forces, in a manner compared to Indra returning to heaven after defeating his foes.
