After he had offered proper respects to the son of Ambika [Dhritarashtra] and to Bhishma, Drona, Bahlika and Duryodhana, Uddhava informed them that Lord Balarama had arrived.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti points out that there is no reference here to Uddhava offering respect to Yudhishthira and his associates, since at that time the Pandavas were staying in Indraprastha.
