Thereafter, the Personality of Godhead observed that tremendous disturbances were taking place in the holy city of Dvaraka. Thus the Lord spoke to the assembled senior members of the Yadu dynasty as follows.
Muni-vasa-nivase kim ghatetarishta-darsanam: there is no possibility of actual disturbances or inauspicious events in holy places inhabited by saintly persons. Thus the so-called disturbances in Dvaraka were directly enacted by the Personality of Godhead for His own auspicious purpose.
