Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The phrase sindhu-sutā-rūpa-manorama refers to the Lord, whose mental happiness is increased by seeing the beauty of Śrī Lakṣmīdevī, the daughter of the ocean. During the churning of the ocean, Lakṣmīdevī appeared from the ocean, therefore her name is also Sindhu-sutā. In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (8.8.8) it is stated:
tataś cāvirabhūt sākṣāc chrī ramā bhagavat-parā rañjayantī diśaḥ kāntyā vidyut saudāmanī yathā
“Then there appeared the goddess of fortune, Ramā, who is absolutely dedicated to being enjoyed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. She appeared like electricity, surpassing the lightning that might illuminate a marble mountain.”
