अन्योऽन्यं चित्र-नर्मोक्ति-केलिभिर् हसतो मुदा ।

sūryam ākrāmataḥ svābhiḥ prabhābhir mādhurī-mayān || 93 ||They were manifesting their happiness through joking conversation. The effulgence of the sun seemed insignificant in comparison to their bodily complexion, but due to the sweetness of agreeable splendor no one had pain in their eyes.
Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
These people were happily joking among themselves through the medium of jocular conversations. Their bodily complexion defeated the effulgence of the sun. Although it was shining, nevertheless it was lovely so no one experienced any pain from it. Rather, their lovely effulgence made everyone happ y due to such sweet bodily haloes.
