Important Words

samanujñātaḥ — given leave
From sam + anu + √jñā — fully consented. Kṛṣṇa does not slip away; He takes formal permission. Gauḍīya: Bhagavān's departure is choreographed with His devotees, not imposed on them.
su - hṛdbhiḥ — by His well-wishers
Compound su (good) + hṛd (heart). The Pāṇḍavas as suhṛts — the same word from verse 10 (Kṛṣṇa as suhṛt of all). Now the bhaktas reciprocate the bhāva. Gauḍīya: suhṛd-bhāva is mutual in mature relation.
anumoditaḥ — allowed
From anu + √mud — joyfully permitted. Not grudging consent but glad consent. Gauḍīya: rasa requires that even partings be accompanied by mutual ānanda; sorrow at separation is paradoxically a higher form of joy.
dvārakām — to Dvārakā
The city Kṛṣṇa Himself had built (cf. Mausala-parva and SB 10.50). Returning to Dvārakā readies the stage for the next marriage. Gauḍīya: Dvārakā is Bhagavān's householder-līlā capital; every new wife enters there.

Then Lord Kṛṣṇa, given leave by Arjuna and other well-wishing relatives and friends, returned to Dvārakā with Sātyaki and the rest of His entourage.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Then Lord Kṛṣṇa, given leave by Arjuna and other well-wishing relatives and friends, returned to Dvārakā with Sātyaki and the rest of His entourage.

Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya

Commentary

After speaking previous events, Śukadeva returns to the events after receiving Kālindī. Receiving definite permission (sam—anujñātaḥ) from Yudhiṣṭhira (tena), after repeatedly asking. He did not go previously because he understood affectionate Yudhiṣṭhira’s unwillingness to let him leave. Arjuna and others (suhrḍbhiḥ) also permitted this. The word saḥ (he) also indicates that Kṛṣṇa went with Kālindī, whom he would marry.

Personal Guidance

Given leave by Arjuna and other relatives, Kṛṣṇa returns to Dvārakā with Sātyaki and entourage. Visits end properly; permission is taken even by the Lord.

Reflection Questions

Where do you exit without proper permission from the host?
How does taking leave well honor a stay?

Analogy

A guest stays only as long as the host's love and his own work allow — the perfect departure is the one that takes leave on both sides. Kṛṣṇa leaves Indraprastha with the consent of his hosts and the will of his retinue; even His coming and going are rasa, not whim.
