Profusely receiving the mercy of 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, 艢谤墨 Uddhava is the best among 产丑腻驳补惫补迟补 devotees. Thus 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 personally addressed him as 尘补丑腻-惫颈产丑奴迟颈 (possessor of magnificent opulence), and even though he is a devotee of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, still due to being most exalted like 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, he is described as the possessor of the majesty of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍. In the Eleventh Canto in the 痴颈产丑奴迟颈-测辞驳补 chapter 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 personally says, tva峁� tu bh膩gavate峁 aham: 鈥淎mong the 产丑腻驳补惫补迟补 devotees of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, I am 艢谤墨 Uddhava.鈥� (艢谤墨mad-叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补m or 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 11.16.29)
