Text 14
tam āgataṁ samāgamya
kṛṣṇasyānucaraṁ priyam
nandaḥ prītaḥ pariṣvajya
vāsudeva-dhiyārcayat
tam — him (Uddhava); āgatam — arrived; samāgamya — approaching; kṛṣṇasya — of Kṛṣṇa; anucaram — the follower; priyam — dear; nandaḥ — Nanda Mahārāja; prītaḥ — happy; pariṣvajya — embracing; vāsudeva-dhiyā — thinking of Lord Vāsudeva; ārcayat — worshiped.
As soon as Uddhava arrived at Nanda Mahārāja’s home, Nanda came forward to meet him. The cowherd King embraced him in great happiness and worshiped him as nondifferent from Lord Vāsudeva.
Uddhava looked just like Nanda’s son Kṛṣṇa and gave pleasure to anyone who saw him. Thus although Nanda was absorbed in thoughts of separation from Kṛṣṇa, when he saw Uddhava coming toward his house, he became aware of external events and eagerly went out to embrace his exalted visitor.
