Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Śukadeva said: When Vidura asked Uddhava for news concerning Kṛṣṇa, Uddhava could not reply out of pain due to separation from Kṛṣṇa, but he began to remember the Lord. In the Second Chapter Uddhava, his face washed in tears because of disturbance due to prema, describes the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa in Vraja until the rāsa dance. Uddhava, fainting because of increased prema in separation from Kṛṣṇa, spoke without being able to reply to the questions of Vidura. By this he shows his condition. He began to remember the Lord when his fainting was broken by the loud questions of Vidura.
