TRANSLATION

As soon as Uddhava arrived at Nanda Maharaja's home, Nanda came forward to meet him. The cowherd King embraced him in great happiness and worshiped him as nondifferent from Lord Vasudeva.

PURPORT

Uddhava looked just like Nanda's son Krsna and gave pleasure to anyone who saw him. Thus although Nanda was absorbed in thoughts of separation from Krsna, when he saw Uddhava coming toward his house, he became aware of external events and eagerly went out to embrace his exalted visitor.
