Also known as औपगवि · Aupagavi

Absorption and silence when questioned by Vidura

Asked by Vidura for news of Krishna, Uddhava could not answer and fell silent for a moment; immersed by the nectar of Krishna's feet through intense bhakti-yoga, all his limbs bristled and he wept (SB 3.2.1-5).

Seeing the Lord alone on the bank of the Sarasvati

Searching for his beloved lord, Uddhava saw Him seated alone on the Sarasvati — dark yet radiant, free of rajas, eyes calm and tinged red, four-armed, in yellow Kaushamba, His right lotus foot on His left thigh, leaning against a young ashvattha (SB 3.4.6-8).

Worshipping Hari in samadhi at the Badari hermitage

Instructed by the guru of the three worlds, the source of sound, Uddhava reached the Badari hermitage and worshipped Hari in samadhi: 'badaryAshramam AsAdya harim Ije samAdhinA' (SB 3.4.32).
