As soon as Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa left the earth, Truth, Religion, Faithfulness, Glory and Beauty immediately followed Him. Kettledrums resounded in the heavens and flowers showered from the sky.
Purport
According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī, all the demigods were jubilant because each one thought Lord Kṛṣṇa was coming to his own planet.

Translation
Truth, dharma, determination, fame and beauty immediately followed him. Kettledrums resounded in the heavens and flowers showered from the sky.
Truth and other qualities departed so that various bad qualities could become prominent in Kali-yuga.
