The Lord said that Viśvarūpa had taken Him away from there.
Viśvarūpa requested Him to accept the sannyāsa order.
The Lord was recounting this request, not saying that He had accepted it.
Wonder touched by grief. Learning, family duty, the loss of Jagannātha Miśra, and marriage create mixed feeling.
