Krishna, who had guarded the sacrifice from beginning to end, takes his leave only once it is complete. It is telling that the Lord does not abandon His undertaking midway: He remains until fullness is reached, and departs only once the labor is crowned. And His departure again bears the mark of "by good fortune" (diṣṭyā): He attributes the devotee's success to good fortune rather than to Himself. The verse teaches that the Lord remains faithful to the end to those He watches over, and stays modest at the hour of their triumph; having completed the feat, He withdraws, leaving the glory to His servant. His presence is not for show: it lasts exactly as long as the task requires, and departs quietly once the work is done.
