(74) They came before the Lord, surrendered at His lotus feet, which award fearlessness, and saw His matchless beauty, which enchants the entire universe.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The phrase nirbhaya-pada refers to Śrī Gaurasundara’s lotus feet, which award fearlessness. Śrī Gaurasundara is the Personality of Godhead, supremely worshipable by the entire universe, as stated in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (11.2.45): sarva-bhūteṣu yaḥ paśyed bhagavad-bhāvam ātmanaḥ—“The most advanced devotee sees within everything the soul of all souls, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa.”
