Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 7 - Chapter 1 - Verse 41


Sanskrit:

क्‍वचिदुत्पुलकस्तूष्णीमास्ते संस्पर्शनिर्वृत: ।अस्पन्दप्रणयानन्दसलिलामीलितेक्षण: ॥ ४१ ॥

ITRANS:

kvacid utpulakas tūṣṇīmāste saṁsparśa-nirvṛtaḥaspanda-praṇayānanda-salilāmīlitekṣaṇaḥ

Translation:

Sometimes, feeling the touch of the Lord’s lotus hands, he became spiritually jubilant and remained silent, his hairs standing on end and tears gliding down from his half-closed eyes because of his love for the Lord.

Purport:

When a devotee feels separation from the Lord, he becomes eager to see where the Lord is, and sometimes when he feels pangs of separation, tears flow incessantly from his half-closed eyes. As stated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu in His Śikṣāṣṭaka, yugāyitaṁ nimeṣeṇa cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam. The words cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam refer to tears falling incessantly from the devotee’s eyes. These symptoms, which appear in pure devotional ecstasy, were visible in the body of Prahlāda Mahārāja.
