# The Love of Hastinapura’s Residents (Separation) Having remained in Hastinapura for a few months, Krishna decided it was time to leave. As He departed, the ladies began crying profusely, while other residents of Hastinapura nearly fainted from the feelings of impending separation. Their hearts were melting in the pot of attraction for Krishna. Such are the intense emotions of Krishna’s pure devotees. Maharaja Yuddhistira provided Krishna with martial protection and the Pandavas followed along as far as they could to see Him off. It was an agonising departure. In separation, lovers feel one moment to be like millions of years. This unique type of emotion, known as *vipralambha-bhava*, paradoxically generates the most intense connection with Krishna. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
