Seeing them encamped at the ocean's edge, that knower of yoga, Uddhava, skilled in the knowledge of ultimate meaning, departed after taking leave of those heroes. Him — the great-souled one who was departing, his palms joined in farewell — Hari did not wish to restrain, knowing the destruction of the Vrishnis. Then those great warriors, seized by time, watched Uddhava depart, his radiance enveloping sky and earth. What had been prepared for the brāhmaṇas — the food of those great souls — they gave to the monkeys, reeking of the smell of liquor. Then, filled with the sound of hundreds of instruments and crowded with actors and dancers, a great feast commenced at Prabhāsa among those fierce ones.

Uddhava, the devoted one skilled in yoga, withdraws before the final act, and the Lord does not wish to restrain him: the faithful are spared the doom appointed for the wicked, for the Lord does not draw His own into perdition. Krishna releases Uddhava alive so that he, retiring into austerity, may outlive the passing of the clan. Meanwhile the doomed complete their sacrilege: the food consecrated for brāhmaṇas is given to monkeys, defiled by the stench of liquor. The Lord protects His devotees by drawing them away from the fate ordained for impiety, for closeness to Him is itself deliverance; and the desecration of what is consecrated — giving the brāhmaṇa's portion to animals, profaning the holy for the sake of revelry — is the surest mark of a heart fallen from dharma and hastening its own destruction.
