The events occurred at the entrance of Vaikuṇṭhaloka. The sages had not actually entered, so their return did not mean that they had left permanent residence there.
The Lord returned to His abode, surrounded by celestial airplanes. Its wealth and splendor far surpass those of the material world.
Viṣṇu, or Kṛṣṇa, is the origin of everything and the supreme worshipable Lord. Those who understand this engage in His worship; the goal of life is to understand Viṣṇu.
