Translation
Bodha arising from destruction of moha: When moha is destroyed by the sound, fragrance, touch and taste of the Lord, there is bodha. In this state the eyes are open, hairs stand on end, and there is rising from the ground.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Transcendental alertness is possible when the illusory condition is completely overcome. At that stage, when in contact with any reaction of material elements, such as sound, smell, touch or taste, the devotee realizes the transcendental presence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In this condition the ecstatic symptoms (e.g., standing of the hair on the body, rolling of the eyeballs and getting up from sleep) are persistently visible.
