Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

When Satyabhāmā saw her dead father, she was plunged into grief. Lamenting "My father, my father! Oh, I am killed!" she fell unconscious. KB 10.57.7 Since Kṛṣṇa was absent from home, His wife Satyabhāmā was present on the night Satrājit was murdered, and she began to cry, “My dear Father! My dear Father! How mercilessly you have been killed!”

Purport

According to Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, Satyabhāmā’s anguished feelings and words at the death of her father were prompted by Lord Kṛṣṇa’s pastime potency ( līlā-śakti ), to prepare for the Lord’s violent reaction against Śatadhanvā.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Hearing about the death, Satyabhāmā went there and saw his dead body. She was inundated (arpitāḥ) with grief or offered herself to grief. Or she was thrown (arpitāḥ) by fate into lamentation. She did not consider the faults of her father out of affection (muhyatī). Or she finally fainted. The reason is the līlā-śakti which creates variety of rasas in the pastimes.
