Uddhava said: Please explain to me more elevated knowledge, greater knowledge, endowed with detachment and realization, which is approved by previous jñānīs. O Lord of the universe! O form of the universe! Teach me about pure bhakti which is sought by the great sages. Having heard about tvam, the ātmā, Uddhava asks about knowledge and realization of tat, Brahman, along with vairāgya, and asks about most rarely attained bhakti-yoga, since he is dissatisfied with jñāna. Tell me about pure knowledge (viśuddham), beyond knowledge of tvam, the jīva. Tell about knowledge which is greater, since it is about Brahman, tat. This knowledge is approved by the previous jñānīs. Uddhava addresses the Lord. O power of the universe! O form of the universe! By these names Uddhava implies that if the universe were false, talking about is power and form would be meaningless. The bhakti which is especially sought (vimṛgyam) by the great sages like Śuka and Sanaka is pure bhakti.
