Sanskrit:

सोऽहं तवानुग्रहार्थं गुहामेतामुपागत: ।प्रार्थित: प्रचुरं पूर्वं त्वयाहं भक्तवत्सल: ॥ ४२ ॥

ITRANS:

so ’haṁ tavānugrahārthaṁguhām etām upāgataḥprārthitaḥ pracuraṁ pūrvaṁtvayāhaṁ bhakta-vatsalaḥ

Translation:

Since in the past you repeatedly prayed to Me, I have personally come to this cave to show you mercy, for I am affectionately inclined to My devotees.

Purport:

It is apparent from this verse that Mucukunda was a devotee of the Supreme Lord. He had prayed for the Lord’s association, and now Śrī Kṛṣṇa granted his fervent request.
