Unnamed narrator within Dvārakā Māhātmya
Tirtha: Dvārakā (sabhā-līlā locus)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Within a richly decorated hall, amid varied conversations, Uddhava leans toward Kṛṣṇa and reports the approach and movements of an arriving figure; listeners pause in anticipation.
Holy events unfold through saintly association and timely counsel; Uddhava becomes the messenger leading to dharma-filled hospitality.
Dvārakā as the setting where saintly news is received and acted upon.
Implicitly points toward welcoming a guest (atithi) properly, which is elaborated in subsequent verses.
