Three verses describe the most excellent position of the Yadus. Their affliction was finished with the killing of Kaṁsa and their desires were fulfilled by living again in Mathurā. After that they were protected by the arms of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma. Then they attained all perfection on attaining the associates of Kṛṣṇa. Then they enjoyed on seeing Kṛṣṇa’s face. This is the order of the description. Saved from fear of Kaṁsa, they attained all desires by living in Mathurā with Kṛṣṇa who made his appearance there. Then they played with Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma. By that they felt themselves successful (siddhāḥ). Their suffering was removed simply by the forms of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, and did not depend on anything else. Without them, everything was suffering. When they were present, there was happiness. The derivation of the names Kṛṣṇa and Saṅkarṣaṇa (attracting all) also signifies that they were able to satisfy everyone. His face is then described. They saw his face at close range (vīkṣantaḥ). And they saw it daily. They were thus pleased (prītāḥ). The happiness on seeing his face increased continually. But even then they could not be completely satisfied. The reasons are given: that face was joyful at every moment. At every moment it displayed the highest beauty. And at every moment it had merciful glances.

Now they were more attractive than Indra. They were always full of the highest happiness without any sorrow. This is expressed in two verses. They were protected from all dangers by the four arms of Kṛṣṇa, bhagavān, and his second form Balarāma, or his best servant, Ananta, the cause of the Yadu dynasty. Or “arms” is in the plural because out of affection they sometimes manifested many arms. Arms were most effective in protecting. By their strength, all their desires were fulfilled. Though living in their houses they were liberated (siddhāḥ) in their bodies. Or all their purposes were fulfilled (siddhāḥ) and they played (remire) in their houses. Though householders, they did not experience any suffering of saṁsāra at all. Krṣṇa means he who takes away all suffering. Rāma means he who gives enjoyment. Because of the two, they were without old age. They attained the highest bliss. They saw his face at close hand (vīkṣantaḥ). The present tense is used to indicate they had immediate experience of his qualities and they continually looked. They were pleased by his ever fresh qualities. Continually they saw. This was their special fortune. Or, they enjoyed (remire) continually. Or prītāḥ is the final statement. Continually his face was overjoyed, having inner joy, not receiving any offenses (pramuditam). Thus he was merciful (sadaya).
