: TRANSLATION

Sometimes, feeling the touch of the Lord’s lotus hands, he be-
came 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 Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu in His Siksdstaka, yugdyitam nimesena caksusa
pravrsayitam. The words caksusa prdvrsadyitam refer to tears falling in-
cessantly from the devotee’s eyes. These symptoms, which appear in
pure devotional ecstasy, were visible in the body of Prahlada Maharaja.
