Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Then Brahmā arrived at Prabhāsa along with Śiva and his consort, the sages, the Prajāpatis and all the devatās headed by Indra.
In the Thirty-first Chapter the disappearance of Kṛṣṇa is explained, as well as the disappearance of Devakī, Vasudeva, Rukmiṇī and others. Śrīdhara Svāmī explains that after arranging for the devatās to enter into the Yadus when he took birth, Kṛṣṇa again had them return to their previous positions and then, by his own will, entered his spiritual abode with his spiritual body.

Reflection Questions
- What does it teach me that even the highest beings attend the Lord's transitions?
- How do I attend the great transitions in my own life?
