kim - whether; sÄdhayiá¹£yati - will he accomplish; asmÄbhiḥ - with us; bhartuḥ - of his master; prÄ«tasya - who was satisfied with him; niá¹£ká¹›tim - the funeral ritual; tataḥ - then; strīṇÄm - the women; vadantÄ«nÄm - as they were speaking; uddhavaḥ - Uddhava; agÄt - came there; ká¹›ta - having performed; ahnikaḥ - his early-morning religious duties.
“Is he going to use our flesh to offer funeral oblations for his master, who was so satisfied with his service?†As the women were speaking in this way, Uddhava appeared, having finished his early-morning duties.
This verse reveals the bitter disappointment the gopīs felt when Akrūra took Kṛṣṇa away. However, they will be pleasantly surprised to see that the unexpected guest is Uddhava.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda to the Tenth Canto, Forty-sixth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “Uddhava Visits Vá¹›ndÄvana.â€
