Then the Lord would go to the assembly house known as Sudharmā. It may be remembered that the Sudharmā assembly house was taken away from the heavenly planets and established in the city of Dvārakā. The specific significance of the assembly house was that anyone who entered it would be freed from the six kinds of material pangs, namely hunger, thirst, lamentation, illusion, old age and death. These are the waves of material existence, and as long as one remained in that Sudharmā assembly house he would not be affected by these six material waves. The Lord would say good-bye in all the sixteen thousand palaces, and again He would become one and enter the Sudharmā assembly house in procession with other members of the Yadu dynasty.
Purport
Śrīla Prabhupāda writes: “It may be remembered that the Sudharmā assembly house was taken away from the heavenly planet and was reestablished in the city of Dvārakā. The specific significance of the assembly house was that anyone who entered it would be free from the six kinds of material pangs, namely hunger, thirst, lamentation, illusion, old age and death. These are the waves of material existence, and as long as one remained in that assembly house of Sudharmā, he would not be affected by these six material waves.”
In this regard, Śrīdhara Svāmī and Viśvanātha Cakravartī explain that when Lord Kṛṣṇa would exit separately from each of His many palaces, each individual form would be visible to the persons present on those particular palace grounds and to the neighboring residents, but not to others. Then, at the gateway path of the Sudharmā assembly hall, all the forms of the Lord would merge into a single form, and thus He would enter the hall.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Leaving each palace in each of his forms, each form would been seen only by the residents and surround neighbors of that particular palace, and not by others. Coming along the main road up to the entrance of the assembly hall, those forms would then become one, and he would enter the hall with only one form, surrounded (parivaritah) by the Vrsnis.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
No one would enter the assembly hall if Kṛṣṇa did not enter. He entered with music and songs (pra—aviśat). Though the hall was great from having been situated in Svarga, it was even greater because it was now in Kṛṣṇa’s city. Thus those who entered were not affected by material suffering.
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
No one would enter the assembly hall if Kṛṣṇa did not enter. He entered with music and songs (pra—aviśat). Its attractive nature is shown. The six waves are lamentation, illusion, old age death, hunger and thirst. O king (aṅga)!
