Translation
An example: When the performer of sacrifice heard the glories of Kṛṣṇa killing Aghāsura, the tips of his eyes filled with a few tears, hairs stood up on his cheeks and a few drops of perspiration appears on his nose. In this way his lotus face shone. [Note: The symptoms are slight. The person has rukṣa-sāttvika-bhāvas.]
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
This type of symptom was experienced by Priest Gargamuni, who was performing some ritualistic ceremony in the house of Nanda Mahārāja. When he heard about Kṛṣṇa’s killing of the Aghāsura demon, there were some tears visible in his eyes, his throat was trembling, and perspiration covered his whole body. In this way Priest Gargamuni’s beautiful face assumed a nice condition.
