Translation

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus addressed by Lord Kṛṣṇa, whose intelligence destroys all the suffering of material life, Śrī Uddhava circumambulated the Lord and then fell down, placing his head upon the Lord’s feet. Although Uddhava was free from the influence of all material dualities, his heart was breaking, and at this time of departure he drenched the Lord’s lotus feet with his tears.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus addressed by Kṛṣṇa, whose mind was attractive with prema, Uddhava circumambulated the Lord and then fell down, placing his head upon the Lord’s feet. Uddhava, subject to the dualities arising from prema, his mind melting at the time of departure, drenched the Lord’s lotus feet with his tears. Hari-medhasā means “by the Lord whose mind is attractive with prema.” Apakrame means “at the time of going away.” Advandva-paraḥ means that Uddhava had dualities such as lamentation and illusion arising from his prema.
