Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 11: Chapter 30: Verses 42-50

Seeing his Master actually seated there at the base of an Aswattha (the sacred fig tree) and surrounded by weapons (appearing in a living form) possessing a dazzling brilliance, the charioteer jumped down from (his box in) the chariot and fell prostrate at His feet, with eyes full of tears, his mind overwhelmed with affection. (He said,) "0 Lord, my vision has completely gone and stands enveloped in darkness (opacity) ever since I have ceased to behold Your lotus-feet. (Even now) I fail to recognize the (four) quarters and find no peace (of mind) any more than a traveller on the moon having set at night." While the charioteer was speaking thus, the (Lord's) chariot, which was distinguished by the emblem of Garuda (on its banner), rose to the sky, horses, banner and all, O king of kings, while Daruka stood looking up.The transcendent weapons of Lord Visnu (Sri Krsna) too followed the chariot, Sri Krsna (who is solicited by all men) said to the charioteer, who felt much astonished at heart at the aforesaid occurrence:- "Proceed, 0 charioteer, to Dwaraka and communicate to My kinsfolk (there) the destruction of their relations at the hands of one another, (nay,) the departure (for His own divine realm) of Lord Sankarsana (Balarama) as well as My own predicament. (Tell them on My behalf:) "You should no longer stay at Dwaraka with your relations inasmuch as the sea will submerge the capital of the Yadus (now that it has been) forsaken by Me. Taking (with you) each your own family and possessions as well as Our parents (Devaki and Vasudeva) and guarded by Arjuna, you should all leave for lndraprastha without exception." As for yourself, follow the course of conduct (the path of Devotion) which is dear to Me, get established in the knowledgeof your being one with Brahma, cultivate an attitude of nonchalance (towards the world) and, realizing this (visible) universe to be a creation of My Maya (enchanting potency), acquire calmness (of mind)." Instructed thus (by the Lord), Daruka went round the Lord (clockwise so as to keep Him always to his right), bowed to Him again and again and, placing His feet on his head (and then removing them) proceeded to Dwaraka, sad at heart.

Thus ends the thirtieth discourse in Book Eleven of the great and glorious

Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita.
