"Because you are in love with me, you should do what will please me. You should not do something which is not desired by me. Do not be stuborn, but return to your homes." But they would answer, "Oh best of the ignorant! Having disobeyed our husbands and treating them like grass, leaving the house, if we return, they will prevent us from entering. Angry, they will threaten to kill us." Krsna answers with this verse. "Your husbands will not find fault with you. There is no use in unfounded fears. What to speak of others, such as mothers and fathers. Why? They will not find fault even if you were to intimately associate with me (which you have not done now) , because they know that I am the Lord. Your husbands, seeing the devatas at the sacrifice, will ask them, and they will also approve. The wise men and devatas have also approved of me, the supreme Lord, in this matter."

They will not find fault with you (vaḥ). Why would they not accept you? All others also will not find fault with you. Rather, they will have affection for you, by the influence of my permission (mayā upetā). Śrīdhara Svāmī also says that mayā upetā means the Lord accepted their faults. He also explains that at that moment Kṛṣṇa saw the devatās and pointing them out, said that even the devatās approved of their conduct. Or, mayā upetā can mean “you associated with me.” Having associated closely with me, your husbands will not find fault with you, since they know that I am the Supreme Lord, since the devatās whom they saw in sacrificial actions also respect me as the Supreme Lord.

They will not find fault with you (na abhyasūyeran). Rather they will accept you. The others will not find fault in you, by my influence of bhakti. Your actions are permitted by me as antaryāmī, directly arranged by me. The devatās who are my devotees in sattva-guṇa will not find fault in you. Rather they will praise your devotion to me. That is also directed by me. Or what can be said about husbands and others? Even the devatās with pious bodies, depending on piety by enjoying the results of sacrifice will not find fault I you for giving up the sacrifices performed by your husbands. The husbands and others will definitely not find fault. Rather they will approve of your conduct and give you special respect. Or since you associated with me (mayā upetāḥ) the devotās will respect you, what to speak of the husbands.
