Verse Text

sāndrā, yathā – sarvāvidyā-dhvaṁsato yaḥ samastād āvirbhūto nirvikalpe samādhau | jāte sākṣād yādavendre sa vindan mayy ānandaḥ sāndratāṁ koṭidhāsīt ||37||

Translation

Sāndra-śānta-rati: In nirvikalpa-samādhi, after destroying all ignorance, I experienced complete bliss. But when I saw Kṛṣṇa directly, the bliss became thousands of times more concentrated.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

The superiority of the deep bliss in realizing the Lord over the previous realization as a jṣānī which was temporary is made clear with a personal statement. When Kṛṣṇa Himself directly appeared (yādavendre sākśād jāte) the bliss (sa ānandaḥ) multiplied in intensity by millions of times--because of realizing His form, qualities and pastimes.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

When a Brahman-realized devotee who has come to the stage of steady trance comes into contact with the eternal form of Kṛṣṇa, his transcendental pleasure increases millions of times.
