Their bhakti:
“Your pāriṣadas headed by Uddhava, with their intelligence offered to You, constantly uttering glorification of Your victory over Śiva, with words choked up by tears, and with great confidence showing not even a spot of fear from Rudra with his fire of devastation, are standing at the gate in Dvārakā, ready to do service.”
