Kṛṣṇa’s mercy, attaining His foot dust or food remnants, and association with Kṛṣṇa’s devotees are some of the unique uddīpanas (stimuli) for this rasa.

NoD 37: Impetuses for Kṛṣṇa’s Service The causeless mercy of Kṛṣṇa, the dust of His lotus feet, His prasāda and association with His devotees are some impetuses toward a devotee’s engagement in transcendental loving service to the Lord.

Commentary

Uddīpanas such as attaining Kṛṣṇa’s mercy are not uddīpanas for vātsalya-rasa at all. At particular times these uddīpanas unique to dāsya-bhakti occur. Association with the devotees of Kṛṣṇa implies in this case special types of association (with dāsya-bhaktas).
