Thus Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Lord of all masters of mystic yoga, saw to the successful execution of this great sacrifice on behalf of King Yudhiṣṭhira. Afterwards, the Lord stayed with His intimate friends for a few months at their earnest request. KB 10.74.48 Lord Kṛṣṇa thus enabled the performance of the Rājasūya-yajṣa arranged by King Yudhiṣṭhira to be successfully completed, and, being requested by His cousins and relatives, He remained in Hastināpura for a few months more.

Purport

Although Lord Kṛṣṇa is the master of all masters of yoga, such as Lord Śiva, still He was controlled by King Yudhiṣṭhira’s pure love. Thus the Lord personally saw to the successful completion of the King’s sacrificial performance. And after that He agreed to stay with His dear friends in Indraprastha for a few more months.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Krsna is the lord of all lords of yoga such as Siva (yogesvaresvara). Out of great love for Yudisthira however, he became the servant and carried out the desires of Yudhisthira. He personally bore all the burdens for the sacrifice.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Though Kṛṣṇa was the controller of the lords of devatās, requested by his friends and controlled by their prayer, he stayed. Or because he is the master of all masters of yoga, able to expand himself unlimitedly (SB 10.69.2), he gave bliss by his personal form to all types of friends.

Purport (Sanatana Goswami)

Kṛṣṇa was the lord of devotees like the Kumāras and Nārada (masters of yoga), because he was directly bhagavān (kṛṣṇaḥ). He had the sacrifice accomplished easily, by his methods and śaktis (sam-sādhayitvā). Or he was the lord of the devotees, who control other yogas. Thus he was affectionate to his devotees. Requested repeatedly (abhi) or in that place, by Yudhiṣṭhira and others, he stayed.
