After he had offered proper respects to the son of AmbikÄ [Dhá¹›tarÄá¹£á¹ra] and to BhÄ«á¹£ma, Droṇa, BÄhlika and Duryodhana, Uddhava informed them that Lord BalarÄma had arrived.
ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« points out that there is no reference here to Uddhava offering respect to Yudhiá¹£á¹hira and his associates, since at that time the PÄṇá¸avas were staying in Indraprastha.
