WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
 | After transporting all His subjects to the new city by the power of His mystic Yoga-māyā, Lord Kṛṣṇa consulted with Lord Balarāma, who had remained in Mathurā to protect it. Then, wearing a garland of lotuses but bearing no weapons, Lord Kṛṣṇa went out of Mathurā by its main gate.

PURPORT
| | Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī quotes the following verses from Śrī Padma Purāṇa, Uttara-khaṇḍa, to describe how Lord Kṛṣṇa transferred the citizens from Mathurā to Dvārakā:
| | | suṣuptān mathurāyān tu
paurāṁs tatra janārdanaḥ
uddhṛtya sahasā rātrau
dvārakāyāṁ nyaveśayat
prabuddhās te janāḥ sarve
putra-dāra-samanvitāḥ
haima-harmya-tale viṣṭā
vismayaṁ paramaṁ yayuḥ
| | | “In the middle of the night, as the citizens of Mathurā slept, Lord Janārdana suddenly removed them from that city and placed them in Dvārakā. When the men awoke, they were all amazed to find themselves, their children and their wives sitting inside palaces made of gold.”
Thus end the purports of Hṛdayānanda, the humble servant of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Fifty-seventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Kṛṣṇa Establishes the City of Dvārakā.”
