Purport
Lord Srikrishna the Supreme Personality Godhead is ad infinitum more powerful than the most powerful Sun of our experience. Millions and billions of suns are created by Him and annihilated by Him within His one breathing period. In the material world the sun is considered to be the source of all productivity and material energy and due to the Sun only we can have necessities of life. Therefore, during the personal presence of the Lord on the earth all paraphernalia of our peace and prosperity specially religion and knowledge were in full display on account of the Lord's presence as much as there is full flood of light in the presence of the glowing sun. Maharaj Yudhisthir observed some discrepancies in his kingdom and therefore, he became too much anxious about Arjuna who was long absent and there were no news about Dwarka's well being. He suspected disappearance of Lord Krishna otherwise there was no possibility of fearful causes of inauspicity.
