Verse Text
yathā vā –
kṣetre kuroḥ kim api caṇḍakaroparāge
sāndraṁ mahaḥ pathi vilocanayor yadāsīt |
tan nīrada-dyuti-jayi smarad utsukaṁ me
na pratyag-ātmani mano ramate pureva ||40||
Translation
Another example: Now that I remember that effulgence that conquers the complexion of a new rain cloud, which I saw at Kurukṣetra at the time of the eclipse of the sun, my restless mind no longer experiences bliss in the impersonal brahman as it did previously.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When Lord Kṛṣṇa, along with His elder brother Balarāma and sister Subhadrā, came to Kurukṣetra in a chariot on the occasion of a solar eclipse, many mystic yogīs also came. When these mystic yogīs saw Lord Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, they exclaimed that now that they had seen the excellent bodily effulgence of the Lord, they had almost forgotten the pleasure derived from impersonal Brahman realization.
