An example of sāttvika-bhāvas: Having seen the lotus feet of Mukunda, your body has become immobile, covered with perspiration, with hairs standing on end. Your body is imitating a flowering thorn bush spread with snow.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When Cupid came on one occasion to visit Lord Kṛṣṇa, some devotee addressed him thus: “My dear Cupid, because you have been so fortunate as to have placed your eyesight on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, the drops of perspiration on your body have become frozen, and they resemble kaṇṭakī fruits [a kind of small fruit found in thorny bushes].”
