In the presence of the great sage Nārada and all the other associates of Lord Kṛṣṇa, Uddhava considered the situation and then spoke as follows:
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
In the seventy first chapter, Krsna hears the advice of Uddhava and goes to Indraprastha with his associates and troops and lives there. Hearing the statements of Narada, the assembly, Krsna and the messenger from the imprisoned kings, and understanding everyone’s wishes, Uddhava being very intelligent (mahamatih) because he could satisfy everyone by keeping their wishes intact, began to speak. That is, Narada wanted Krsna to go to the rajasyuya sacrifice. The assembly and the messenger wanted him to kill Jarasandha. Krsna wanted to do both.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Having heard what Kṛṣṇa said and understanding completely (ā—jñāya) the opinion of Nārada and the assembly, Uddhava spoke. He is called mahā-matiḥ of out joy because as Kṛṣṇa’s favorite devotee, he would bring a solution that would maintain everyone’s propositions
