sri-uddhavah uvaca -- Sri Uddhava said; yuvam -- you two; slaghyatamau -- the most praiseworthy; nunam -- for certain; dehinam -- of embodied living beings; iha -- in this world; mana-da -- O respectful one; narayane -- for the Supreme Lord Narayana; akhila-gurau -- the spiritual master of all; yat -- because; krita -- produced; matih -- a mentality; idrisi -- like this.
Sri Uddhava said: O respectful Nanda, certainly you and mother Yasoda are the most praiseworthy persons in the entire world, since you have developed such a loving attitude toward Lord Narayana, the spiritual master of all living beings.
Understanding Nanda's mood, as expressed by his statement manye krishnam ca ramam ca praptav iha surottamau ("I think Krishna and Rama must be two exalted demigods"), Uddhava here referred to Krishna as Lord Narayana.
