592 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 1, Ch. 11

Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur, there was a regular psychological reaction
on the occasion. First of all, rising from their seats, although they wanted
to see the husband, they were deterred because of feminine shyness. But
due to strong ecstasy, they overcame that stage of weakness and became
caught up with the idea of embracing the Lord, and this thought factually
made them unconscious of their surrounding environment. This prime
state of ecstasy annihilated all other formalities and social conventions,
and thus they escaped all stumbling blocks in the path of meeting the
Lord. And that is the perfect stage of meeting the Lord of the soul, Sri
Krsna.

TRANSLATION

The insuperable ecstasy was so strong that the queens, who were shy,
first embraced the Lord in the innermost recesses of their hearts. Then
they embraced Him visually, and then they sent their sons to embrace Him
[which is equal to personal embracing]. But, O chief amongst the Bhrgus,
though they tried to restrain their feelings, they inadvertently shed tears.
