2). The message carried by Uddhava. Kaṃsa sent Akrūra to Ambāḍi, and brought Śrī Kṛṣṇa to Mathurā. Śrī Kṛṣṇa killed Kaṃsa and made Ugrasena king, and stayed in the city of Mathurā for a time. At that time Śrī Kṛṣṇa sent Uddhava to Ambāḍi to know about the well-being of the people there. The moment Uddhava entered Ambāḍi, the Gopas and gopa women, (cowherds) Yaśodā and Nandagopa, all surrounded him to hear about Śrī Kṛṣṇa. They felt much pleased at knowing that Śrī Kṛṣṇa was getting on well. They sent through him many presents to Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He got all those presents into his chariot and took them to Śrī Kṛṣṇa in Mathurā. (Bhāgavata, Skandha 10).
