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.
