At Brindavan, Nanda and Yashoda welcome him, with a smiling face, but with emptiness in their heart, because they miss Krishna. Uddhava was fed and let to rest.
Yashoda Ma starts, ‘Uddhava, I switched off this stove the day Krishna left for Mathura. It has never been switched on since! Whenever I switched it on, Krishna ran around me asking for milk. The joy is simply inexplicable Uddhava! ’
‘This is the mortar in which I bound Krishna. This is the rope I used…. This is the dress I got him for Diwali last year…. Even when he slept, he wouldn’t let go of his flute.. see now he has left that back too… What is he doing in Mathura? Is he still grazing cattle?’
Nanda Baba interjected, ‘Are you mad? Why would he graze cattle when he has had his education? He must be a king now!’
Uddhava is spellbound by their love for Krishna.
