Śrī Sūta Gosvāmī said: Arjuna went to Dvārakā to see Lord Śrī Krishna and other friends and also to learn from the Lord of His next activities.
PURPORT
As stated in Bhagavad-gītā, the Lord descended on earth for the protection of the faithful and annihilation of the impious, so after the Battle of Kurukshetra and establishment of Mahārāja Yudhishthira, the mission of the Lord was complete. The Pāndavas, especially Śrī Arjuna, were eternal companions of the Lord, and therefore Arjuna went to Dvārakā to hear from the Lord of His next program of work.
