iti tasmai varaḿ dattvā
śriyaḿ cānvaya-vardhinīm
balam āyur yaśaḥ kāntiḿ
nirjagāma sahāgrajaḥ
iti -- thus; tasmai -- to him; varam -- the benediction; dattva -- giving; sriyam -- opulence; ca -- and; anvaya -- his family; vardhinim -- expanding; balam -- strength; ayuh -- long life; yasah -- fame; kantim -- beauty; nirjagama -- He left; saha -- together with; agra-jah -- His elder brother, Lord Balarama.
Not only did Lord Krishna grant Sudama these benedictions, but He also awarded him strength, long life, fame, beauty and ever-increasing prosperity for his family. Then Krishna and His elder brother took Their leave.
We can see a clear difference between Lord Krishna's dealings with the nasty washerman and His dealings with the devoted florist Sudama. The Lord is as hard as a thunderbolt for those who defy Him and as soft as a rose for those who surrender to Him. Therefore we should all sincerely surrender to Lord Krishna, since that is clearly in our self-interest.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Tenth Canto, Forty-first Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "Krishna and Balarama Enter Mathura."
