प्रफुल्ल-पद्म-नेत्राभ्यां वर्षन्न् अश्रूणि धारया ।
स-गद्गदं जगादेदं परानुग्रह-कातरः ॥ ६४ ॥praphulla-padma-netrābhyāṃ varṣann aśrūṇi dhārayā |
sa-gadgadaṃ jagādedaṃ parānugraha-kātaraḥ || 64 ||Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is always eager to show mercy, began to speak in a choked voice while shedding constant tears from eyes that resembled full-blown lotuses.
Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
He always remains eager to show great mercy, involuntarily demonstrating His magnificent kindness. Therefore, it is indeed appropriate for Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa to cry in a loud voice for His beloved devotees.
