Considering that her death was the mercy of the Lord who is concerned for the welfare of his devotees, I departed immediately for the north.

Purport

Considering the death of my mother (tat) as the mercy of the Lord, I departed (pratistham) to the north. He did so without performing her funeral rites. Use of parasmaipadam verb is poetic license.
