Translation
Another example: On seeing Kṛṣṇa, Uddhava offered a gift in the form of the best river of tears, and his voice choked when he began to recite prayers using sweet attractive words and sweet tone. His body erupted in goose bumps. Becoming completely stunned, he radiated superiority over all other devotees.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Uddhava possessed an extremely sweet tone in his voice generated from his affection (rajyan). His words were sweet and attractive by nature (maṣjula-kaṇṭha). However, the order of syllables became disarrayed (luṭhita) within that throat (kaṇtha-garbha).
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
There is a statement about Uddhava’s symptoms of love. When he saw Lord Kṛṣṇa his eyes filled with tears and created a river which flowed down toward the sea of Kṛṣṇa to offer tribute, as a wife offers tribute to her husband. When his body erupted with goose pimples, he appeared like the kadamba flower, and when he began to offer prayers, he appeared completely distinct from all other devotees.
