Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.5.117:

अस्मान� विहा� कुत्रापि यात्रा� � कुरुते प्रभुः �
� हि तद�-दुःखम् अस्माक� दृष्टे तस्मिन्न� अपव्रजेत� � ११� �

asmān vihāya kutrāpi yātrā� sa kurute prabhu� |
na hi tad-duḥkham asmāka� dṛṣṭe tasminn apavrajet || 117 ||

If Śrī ṛṣṇa abandons us and goes somewhere else, then our distress of separation from Him does not go away even when He returns.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

The Yādavas are narrating the greater importance of Śrī Uddhava in the two verses beginning with asman iti.
