Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 24

Sanskrit:

गीतवादित्रघोषेण ब्रह्मघोषेण भूयसा ।अभ्ययात्स हृषीकेशं प्राणा: प्राणमिवाद‍ृत: ॥ २४ ॥

ITRANS:

gīta-vāditra-ghoṣeṇabrahma-ghoṣeṇa bhūyasāabhyayāt sa hṛṣīkeśaṁprāṇāḥ prāṇam ivādṛtaḥ

Translation:

As songs and musical instruments resounded along with the loud vibration of Vedic hymns, the King went forth with great reverence to meet Lord Hṛṣīkeśa, just as the senses go forth to meet the consciousness of life.

Purport:

Lord Kṛṣṇa is here described as Hṛṣīkeśa, the Lord of the senses, and King Yudhiṣṭhira’s rushing to the Lord is compared to the senses eagerly joining the consciousness of life. Without consciousness, the senses are useless; indeed, the senses function through consciousness. Similarly, when the individual souls are bereft of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, love of God, they enter into a useless and illusory struggle called material existence. Pure devotees like King Yudhiṣṭhira are never bereft of the Lord’s association, for they keep Him always within their heart, and yet they feel special ecstasy when they see the Lord after long separation, as described here.
