Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Many planks and sticks, unable to stay together, are carried away by the force of a river’s waves. Similarly, although we are intimately related with friends and family members, we are unable to stay together because of our varied past deeds and the waves of time.
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Vasudeva was lamenting because he and Nanda Maharaja could not live together. Yet how could they live together? Vasudeva warns that all of us, even if intimately related, are carried away by the waves of time according to the results of past karma.
