"O favorite of the Yadus, we gave him the seat of the spiritual master and promised him long life and freedom from physical pain for as long as this sacrifice continues. KB 10.78.30 “Dear Lord Yadunandana, we may inform You that we brāhmaṇas posted Romaharṣaṇa Sūta on that exalted position for the duration of this great sacrifice. He was seated on the vyāsāsana by our election, and when one is seated on the vyāsāsana, it is improper for him to stand up to receive a person. Moreover, we awarded Romaharṣaṇa Sūta an undisturbed duration of life.

Purport

Although Romaharṣaṇa was not a brāhmaṇa, having been born of a mixed marriage, he was invested with that status by the assembled sages and thus given the brahmāsana, the seat of the chief officiating priest.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

We granted him the boon of no fatigue and long life for the duration of the sacrifice.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

You have appeared in the Yadu family to protect true dharma (yadu-nandana). Therefore you must protect what we granted to him.

Purport (Sanatana Goswami)

O joy of the Yadus! You have appeared in the Yadu dynasty to protect dharma. You must maintain what we have promised. Or you must act just as you gave to Ugrasena the kingdom, as a reward, in order to give joy to the Yadus.
