SB 10.71.11

sri-suka uvaca

ity uddhava-vaco rajan

 sarvato-bhadram acyutam

devarsir yadu-vrddhas ca

 krsnas ca pratyapujayan

Translation: 

Sukadeva Gosvami said: O King, Devarsi Narada, the Yadu elders and Lord Krsna all welcomed Uddhava’s proposal, which was entirely auspicious and infallible.

Purport: 

Srila Sridhara Svami explains that the term acyutam indicates that Uddhava’s proposal was “fortified by logical reasoning.” Furthermore, Sukadeva Gosvami specifically indicates by the term yadu-vrddhah that it was the senior members, not the junior ones, who welcomed the proposal. Young princes such as Aniruddha did not like Uddhava’s proposal, since they were eager to fight Jarasandha’s army immediately.

SB 10.71.12

athadisat prayanaya

 bhagavan devaki-sutah

bhrtyan daruka-jaitradin

 anujñapya gurun vibhuh

Translation: 

The almighty Personality of Godhead, the son of Devaki, begged His superiors for permission to leave. Then He ordered His servants, headed by Daruka and Jaitra, to prepare for departure.

Purport: 

The superiors mentioned here are personalities such as Vasudeva, Lord Krsna’s father.
