ÅšrÄ« Uddhava here inquires about the spiritual opulences of the Lord, which consist primarily of His viṣṇu-tattva expansions such as VÄsudeva, Saá¹…kará¹£aṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. By worshiping different plenary expansions of the Lord one achieves particular perfections, and ÅšrÄ« Uddhava wants to know about this.
