O Śaunaka, thereafter the Lord, having bade farewell to King Yudhiṣṭhira, Draupadī and other relatives, started for the city of Dvārakā, accompanied by Arjuna and other members of the Yadu dynasty.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the First Canto, Twelfth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Birth of Emperor Parīkṣit.”

Translation
Kṛṣṇa, called there by Yudhiṣṭhira, had the King perform the sacrifice with brāhmaṇas, and stayed there for some months to satisfy his friends. Taking the permission of the king, Draupadī and other friends, he then departed for Dvārakā with Arjuna, surrounded by the Yadus. (1.13) Chapter Thirteen Nārada explains the Disappearance of Dhṛtarāṣṭra
After bidding farewell to Yudhiṣṭhira, Draupadī and other relatives, the Lord started for Dvārakā with Arjuna and other Yadus. Farewells are part of love's rhythm. Returning home is also dharma.
Reflection Questions
  • What home am I refusing to return to because of love for where I am?
  • Where could a clean farewell open the next chapter?
