tatra - there; yoga - of His mystic potency; prabhÄvena - by the power; nÄ«tvÄ - bringing; sarva - all; janam - His subjects; hariḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa; prajÄ - of the citizens; pÄlena - by the protector; rÄmeṇa - Lord BalarÄma; kṛṣṇaḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa; samanumantritaḥ - advised; nirjagÄma - went out; pura - of the city; dvÄrÄt - by the gate; padma - of lotus flowers; mÄlÄ« - wearing a garland; nirÄyudhaḥ - without weapons.
After transporting all His subjects to the new city by the power of His mystic Yoga-mÄyÄ, Lord Kṛṣṇa consulted with Lord BalarÄma, who had remained in MathurÄ to protect it. Then, wearing a garland of lotuses but bearing no weapons, Lord Kṛṣṇa went out of MathurÄ by its main gate.
ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« quotes the following verses from ÅšrÄ« Padma PurÄṇa, Uttara-khaṇá¸a, to describe how Lord Kṛṣṇa transferred the citizens from MathurÄ to DvÄrakÄ:
suá¹£uptÄn mathurÄyÄn tu
paurÄá¹s tatra janÄrdanaḥ
uddhá¹›tya sahasÄ rÄtrau
dvÄrakÄyÄá¹ nyaveÅ›ayat
prabuddhÄs te janÄḥ sarve
putra-dÄra-samanvitÄḥ
haima-harmya-tale viá¹£á¹Ä
vismayaṠparamaṠyayuḥ
“In the middle of the night, as the citizens of MathurÄ slept, Lord JanÄrdana suddenly removed them from that city and placed them in DvÄrakÄ. When the men awoke, they were all amazed to find themselves, their children and their wives sitting inside palaces made of gold.â€
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda to the Tenth Canto, Fiftieth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “Kṛṣṇa Establishes the City of DvÄrakÄ.â€
