kiṁ sādhayiṣyaty asmābhir
bhartuḥ prītasya niṣkṛtim
tataḥ strīṇāṁ vadantīnām
uddhavo ’gāt kṛtāhnikaḥ
kim — whether; sādhayiṣyati — will he accomplish; asmābhiḥ — with us; bhartuḥ — of his master; prītasya — who was satisfied with him; niṣkṛtim — the funeral ritual; tataḥ — then; strīṇām — the women; vadantīnām — as they were speaking; uddhavaḥ — Uddhava; agāt — came there; kṛta — 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 Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Forty-sixth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Uddhava Visits Vṛndāvana.”
