Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Texts 19-21


śrī-parīkṣid uvāca
uddhavo ’tyanta-sambhrānto
drutam utthāya tat-padau
nidhāyāṅke samāliṅgya
tasyābhipretya hṛd-gatam

hṛt-prāpta-bhagavat-tat-tat-
prasāda-bhara-bhāg-janaḥ
tadīya-prema-sampatti-
vibhava-smṛti-yantritaḥ

rodanair vivaśo dīno
yatnād dhairyaṁ śrito munim
avadhāpyāha mātsaryāt
sāttvikāt pramudaṁ gataḥ


TRANSLATION
Śrī Parīkṣit said: Impelled by great respect for Nārada, Uddhava suddenly stood up, held Nārada’s feet, and embraced them. Aware of what Nārada was thinking, Uddhava remembered many devotees who had received the Lord’s special favor. As Uddhava meditated on those devotees, their love for the Lord, and the wealth of their loving ecstasies, he felt distress, thinking himself fallen, and cried helplessly. Only with some effort was he able to regain his composure. Then he became joyful and spoke to the sage, moved by the sāttvika emotion of jealousy.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 10


utthāya yatnād ānīya
svāsthyaṁ nītvā kṣaṇena tam
premāśru-klinna-vadanaṁ
prakṣālyāhuḥ śanair laghu


TRANSLATION
Standing up, they brought him carefully to where they had been sitting. They took a moment to restore him to a condition closer to normal and wiped dry his face, wet with tears of love. Then they spoke to him, simply and gently.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 4


bhūmau kvāpi skhalati patati kvāpi tiṣṭhaty aceṣṭaḥ
kvāpy utkampaṁ bhajati luṭhati kvāpi rodity athārtaḥ
kvāpy ākrośan plutibhir ayate gāyati kvāpi nṛtyan
sarvaṁ kvāpi śrayati yugapat prema-sampad-vikāram


TRANSLATION
He sometimes tripped and fell to the ground and sometimes stood motionless. Sometimes his body trembled, or he rolled on the ground, or he wept in great distress. He sometimes shouted and jumped about, sometimes sang and danced. And sometimes all the transformations of priceless love of God converged in him at once.
