O King.
O King, leave here and offer your daughter to Lord Baladeva, who is still present. He is most powerful. Indeed, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose plenary portion is Lord Viṣṇu. Your daughter is fit to be given to Him in charity.

Translation
O King, leave this place. The very powerful Baladeva, whose portion is Viṣṇu, is now present. Offer the jewel of your daughter to that jewel among men.
Personal Guidance
Brahmā directs Kakudmī to give Revatī to Baladeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When every planned option has expired, the Lord Himself is the timeless match available now.
Reflection Questions
- Where have all my options expired, and have I considered turning straight to the Lord?
- What 'best match' am I overlooking because I am still listing earthly candidates?
