(Uddhava enters)
Uddhava: Kṛṣṇa allows Himself to come under the control of His affectionate devotees' love. Controlled by their love, even though He is the master of all omniscient sages, He becomes bewildered. Even though He is the crest-jewel of all omnipotent deities, still He becomes stunned and powerless. Even though His nature is eternal transcendental bliss, still He becomes filled with anguish.
