After performing this sacrifice, Vasudeva felt so satisfied that there was no limit to his happiness. All the members of his family were with him, and in their presence he caught hold of the hands of Nanda Mahārāja and addressed him thus:
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Crossing the great ocean of his desire, the performance of the sacrifice, by completing it successfully, Vasudeva spoke to Nanda.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
After the death of Kaṁsa, Vasudeva had the desire that he along with Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma should meet the people of Vraja somewhere and have a huge festival with all friends, sages and kings. He was now pleased to have crossed over very easily that great ocean—something hard to arrange. On another day, surrounded by friends, with all his brothers and elders, he went to Nanda’s residence. Sitting on a seat, facing Nanda and taking his hand in affection, he spoke to him. He had come to pacify Nanda at the upcoming suffering at the time of separating from Kṛṣṇa.
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
After the death of Kaṁsa, Vasudeva had the desire that he along with Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma should meet the people of Vraja somewhere and have a huge festival with all friends, sages and kings. He was now pleased to have crossed very easily over that great ocean—something hard to arrange. All the Yādavas had gathered there (suhṛd vṛtaḥ). Or though surrounded by friends, he ignored others, and concentrated on his best friend Nanda. Out of affecton, he held Nanda’s hand gently.
