[6] And this [messenger] delivered that message: "Alas, Kṛṣṇa, though I thirst to play with you, I am blocked by adverse fate; for unexpectedly, my maternal uncle born of Puru's race, having come to see me with utmost insistance, has taken on the nature of a fixture in my palace. Today, as you have awakened very early, I infer you have a special plan. Therefore, whatever divine play you intended to manifest must indeed be manifested by you. For an obstacle at the outset of a new undertaking arrests the expectation of uninterrupted success."
