Joy from attaining one’s desired object, from the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad- Bhāgavatam [10.33.11]:
“Upon the shoulder of one gopī Kṛṣṇa placed His arm, whose natural blue- lotus fragrance was mixed with that of the sandalwood pulp anointing it. As the gopī relished that fragrance, her bodily hair stood on end in jubilation, and she kissed His arm.”
