Suta said..... "Reaching the border of the land of the Dwaarikaa, Krishna sounded his conch shell [(the Panchajanya), which, evidently, removed the sorrows of the inhabitants. The brilliant white of the round form of the conchshell, although reddened by the lips of the Srikrishna, looked like a swan ducking at the stems of lotus flowers. Having heard the sound that is removes all fear of birth and death all the citizens proceeded rapidly in the direction of the sound in order to have the audience with the protector of the devotees they for so long had awaited. Thereupon they offered their presentation of welcome which could be considered like offering a lamp to the sun relative to the self-contented one who, by his own potency, was their unrelenting provider.
Koti nayana praani bahi...................ki kare rabi jebe naahi..!
tohara prasanna badana .................akhila taapa bimochana.......
The eager people of Dwarikaa gathered near Srikrishna and offered their humble prayers. They pleaded...."We have always bowed down to Your lotus feet like one does with his father because You are the one who is everything to us; our mother, well-wisher, husband, father, Lord and spiritual master; you are our supreme idol. How lucky we are to see your all-auspicious form, to be again under the protection of your good Self. Whenever, o lotus-eyed one, You leave from here to meet Your friends and relatives among the Kurus (in Hastinaapura) and the people of Mathuraa, o Infallible one, seems each moment to take a million years, and are our eyes as useless as they would be without the sun. How can we, with You being elsewhere, live without the satisfaction of Your glance that vanquishes the miseries of the world; how can we live without seeing Your beautiful smiling and decorated, attractive face?" Listening thus, Srikrishna entered Dwarika with a great pleasure.
The city of Dwaraka was protected by the strength of the descendants of Krishna called "Yadavas" who were all as good as Krishna Himself. Round the years there there wealth of orchards and flower gardens that with their trees, plants and also with the hermitages that were found there, formed beautiful parks around ponds filled with lotuses which made the city extra beautiful. The gateway of the city as well as the different roads were decorated with arches and flags which, painted with all the known signs, were casting shadows in the sunshine. The lanes, alleys, the marketplace and public meeting places were thoroughly cleansed, sprinkled with scented water and strewn with fruits, flowers and unbroken seeds. At the door of each residential house there was a display of curd, unbroken fruits, sugar cane, decorations, pots of water and articles for worship like incense and lamps. Hearing that their dearest one was coming home, were His father Vasudeva and the magnanimous Rama, Akrura, Ugrasena...... Krishna's elder brother Balaraama, all the sons of Srikrishna including, Pradyumna, Caarudeshna and Saamba , all by the force of an extreme happiness alerted from their resting, sitting and dining. Headed by elephants, with auspicious articles, blowing the conchshells and with the glorifying chanting of hymns, hurriedly they all marched towards their adorable Srikrishna.
After entering his palace Srikrishna was embraced by His own seven mothers (the real one, the wife of the priest, the guru and the king, the cow, the nurse and mother earth) gladly headed by Devaki to whom he bowed down in obeisance. After all of them had put Him on their laps their breasts got wet of affection and delight and the water of the tears that overwhelmed them. Thereafter He entered His personal palaces that answered all desires to the full with his wives that numbered over sixteen thousand. With their minds rejoicing the ladies, from a distance seeing their husband now returned home, at once got up from their seats and meditations.
takhyane hari rupa dekhi nirmala kari beni aakhi
antare swamirupa dhari nibide aalingana kari
puni krushnara paase mili putraadi dwaaraa kola kari
swabhaabe sallaja badane lotaka purite nayane
jadyapi paaile ekaante tathaapi krushna paadagate
ati pirati naba naba swaami charane kale bhaaba

All the wives of Srikrishna were delighted by the presence of their husband. He was the one who is with him/her who sees Him in side heart. This is the relation of soul and the supreme. This is how all the wives of Sikrishna got his embrace at the same time. Srikrishna for protecting the earth from the burden of sins defeated thousands of merciless kings whose women surrendered the almighty whom He himself gave the status as his wife. The innocent wives out of simplicity took it for true that he would be like someone who is dominated and isolated by his wife in following her. Their innocence served their adorable husband each and every moment with the sense great fulfillment.
