ITRANS:

taṁ nirgataṁ samāsādyanānopāyana-pāṇayaḥnandādayo ’nurāgeṇaprāvocann aśru-locanāḥ

Translation:

As Uddhava was about to leave, Nanda and the others approached him bearing various items of worship. With tears in their eyes they addressed him as follows.

Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī points out that Nanda and the cowherd men did not approach Uddhava as a formality, but rather out of spontaneous affection for a dear friend of Kṛṣṇa’s.
