An example of moha or mūrcchitam (fainting) in viyoga:
“O best of the Yadus! Those who were serving You got no sleep when You were in Vraja. In separation from You, they had reached a similar state. But now, by their slight breathing, it is questionable whether they are living or not. They lie on the bank of the Yamunā with unconscious bodies.”
