Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the idea that embodied existence can be temporary and role-based: after completing an earthly phase, beings may regain their prior celestial station. It also highlights devotion/service to the divine (Vāsudeva) as a continuing orientation even after transformation and ascent.
Vaiśaṃpāyana reports that certain women, after dying (abandoning their bodies), ascend again to heaven and become apsarases. In that restored celestial form, they return to the presence of Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) and take up attendance/service near him.
