Both Balabhadra and Krsna accepted the offerings and distributed them among Garga and their teacher. After completion of the ceremonies according to the Vedic traditions, the teacher Garga was presented with the daksind.

The gods and the Brahmanas were respectfully offered the food. Then all the people who had arrived to participate in the yajha variously offered blessings to Sri Krsna and Baladeva and went back to their abodes. After completion of the auspicious ceremonies Nanda and Yasoda took the boys in their laps and started kissing their faces. At that point of time both Nanda and Yasoda became emotional and started sobbing.

Sri Krsna then somehow reassured them and spoke to them.

Reaching the bank of river Yamuna, all of them started crying with grief, thus after talking with one and other they returned to their abodes.

O sage, at the command of Vasudeva, the widow KuntI also returned to her abode with her sons and the gems given to her by Vasudeva.

Vasudeva and Devaki also gave away enough of gems and jewels, costumes, gold, silver, rubies, sapphire and various types of sweets to the Brahman as and the bards for the welfare to their Thereafter the festivities were gracefully performed which included the recitation of the Vedas and the name of the lord, serving food to the Brahmanas.
