These are the words of Uddhava. The first line shows His skill in satisfying others. The second line shows His skill in logic. The third line shows His skill in speaking truth. Pramita akṣara can mean measured words (not wasting words) or authoritative words. He uses colorful meanings of words while arguing, reasoning and concluding (vividhārtha-mayī). The fourth line shows His skill in creativity or imagination.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Kṛṣṇa’s speech, which contains all good qualities in the universe, is described in the following statement by Uddhava: “The words of Kṛṣṇa are so attractive that they can immediately change the heart of even His opponent. His words can immediately solve all of the questions and problems of the world. Although He does not speak very long, each and every word from His mouth contains volumes of meaning. These speeches of Kṛṣṇa are very pleasing to my heart.”
