The Supreme Lord Visits the Pāṇḍavas

“Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Once, the supremely opulent Personality of Godhead went to Indraprastha to visit the Pāṇḍavas, who had again appeared in public. Accompanying the Lord were Yuyudhāna and other associates.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.58.1, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Kṛṣṇa, the supremely opulent Personality of Godhead, went to Indraprastha to visit the Pāṇḍavas. Yuyudhāna and other associates accompanied Him.
  • Almost everyone except Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Balarāma had thought the Pāṇḍavas had perished in the fire Duryodhana set in the house of lac.
  • The Pāṇḍavas had now appeared again in public. Kṛṣṇa was paying them a visit.
