KB 10.84.28
At that time, however, Vasudeva, the father of Lord Kṛṣṇa and the most celebrated of all pious men, approached the sages and with great humility offered his respects by falling down at their feet.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Grasping their feet, Vasudeva spoke. The sandhi of bibhase with idam (bibhasedam) is poetic license. "Such sages are difficult to bring, even if invited. The doubts in my heard cannot be destroyed except by them. Therefore now I should ask them my questions."
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Knowing the intention of the sages to leave (tat vīkṣya), Vasudeva, famous because he was the father of the Lord, went to them. Following human pastimes like the Lord, he offered respects and spoke with the greatest courtesy (suyantritaḥ) in order to give bliss to Kṛṣna and the people by crediting to the Lord his proper fame.
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
Knowing the intention of the sages to leave (tat vīkṣya), Vasudeva, though famous because he was the father of the Lord, went to them. Or he went to them, with the intention of his future fame. He spoke humbly (suyantritaḥ).
