The sage said: "Listen to something more, briefly. Having acquired knowledge, the moment you arrive in Mathurā, you will set out for glorious Vraja. But, held back by your parents and elders there, reflecting that disobeying their order would bring no welfare in the future, and thus mourning that deed, you will recognize Uddhava—who shines with sheer benevolence toward you, is exceedingly humble, and is well-trained—and dispatch him to bring reassurance to the people of Vraja. Out of hesitation before them, however, you will not bring the people of Vraja to your own side.
