Translation

Tradução

While Uddhava, the chief and most confidential amongst the devotees of the Lord, was going away, Vidura, in affection and confidence, questioned him.

Purport

Comentário

Vidura was much older than Uddhava. By family relationship Uddhava was a contemporary brother of Kṛṣṇa’s, while Vidura was as elderly as Kṛṣṇa’s father Vasudeva. But although junior by age, Uddhava was much advanced in the devotional service of the Lord, and therefore he is described herein as the chief amongst the devotees of the Lord. Vidura was confident about this, and thus he addressed Uddhava in that higher category. That is the way of courteous dealings between two devotees.

Vidura era muito mais velho que Uddhava. Pela relação familiar, Uddhava era um irmão contemporâneo de Kṛṣṇa, ao passo que Vidura era tão idoso como Vasudeva, o pai de Kṛṣṇa. No entanto, apesar de ser jovem em termos de idade, Uddhava era muito avançado no serviço devocional ao Senhor, daí ele ser descrito aqui como o principal entre os devotos do Senhor. Vidura tinha confiança nisso e, deste modo, dirigiu-se a Uddhava situando-o nessa categoria superior. É dessa forma amável que dois devotos se tratam.
