|
For a person who has lived in Dvaraka for six months, for one month, or even for one fortnight, there is awaiting elevation to the Vaikuntha-lokas and all the profits of sarupya-mukti In the Padma Purana it is stated: "For one who has given up his material sense enjoyment and has accepted the principles of devotional service, the opulence of Visnu-loka [the kingdom of God] is awaiting." In the same Padma Purana it is also said that for a person who has lived in Dvaraka for six months, for one month, or even for one fortnight, there is awaiting elevation to the Vaikuntha-lokas and all the profits of sarupya-mukti (the privilege of having the same four-handed bodily features as Narayana).

It is stated in the First Canto of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, 11th Chapter, 4th verse, that when Lord Krsna returned from the battlefield of Kuruksetra to His home at Dvaraka, all the residents of Dvaraka began to talk with Him, as a child talks lovingly to his father after the father's return from foreign countries. This is an example of jubilation.
