Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Iti indicates that here the message of Visnu as related by Brahma ends.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

He gave orders according to what Viṣṇu repeated of Kṛṣṇa’s words. His qualification to give orders is stated. He was lord of the Prajāpatis like Marīci because he was powerful (vibhuḥ). The other meaning is that by helping bring about the appearance of Kṛṣṇa, his position as protector of the Prajāpatis and as a powerful figure became successful. He pacified the earth. “You are most fortunate. Your surface will be decorated very soon by Kṛṣṇa’s foot prints.” He went to Satyaloka to satisfy the personified Vedas and his associates who were situated far away from him at present by giving the news that Kṛṣṇa would appear on earth.
