Bukod sa kanila ay naroon sina Kavi, Havi, Antarikṣa, Prabuddha, Pippalāyana, Āvirhotra, Drumila, Camasa, at Karabhājana. Sila ang siyam na mahā-bhāgavata, mga nakakakita ng bhāgavata-dharma at mga awtorisadong tagapangaral ng Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, na pinararangalan dahil sa matibay na bhakti kay Vāsudeva, ang Kataas-taasang Panginoon. Upang lubos na mapayapa ang isipan, ilalarawan ko sa bandang huli ang kanilang mga katangian sa pagtalakay sa pag-uusap nina Nārada at Vasudeva.
