Important Words

ananta-caraṇena — by the feet of Kṛṣṇa, the unlimited Lord
Compound: ananta (endless) + caraṇa (foot). At the moment of physical contact, the verse switches to the epithet of His infinitude — to remind the reader Whose feet these are. The contact may look human; the contact is with ananta.
ānanda-mūrtim — the personal manifestation of bliss
Compound: ānanda (bliss) + mūrti (form, embodiment). Gauḍīyas read this as a doctrinal verse-tag: Kṛṣṇa is sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha, and even kāmic contact with His body delivers ānanda because the body itself is ānanda-mūrti.
jighrantī — smelling, inhaling the fragrance
Present participle of √ghrā. The cure is olfactory — only the scent of His feet, no doctrinal instruction needed. Pāda-padma-saurabha purifies on contact. This is the Bhāgavatam's recurring teaching: His person heals at the senses' threshold.
ati-dīrgha-tāpam — extremely long-standing distress
Compound: ati (very) + dīrgha (long) + tāpa (burning, anguish). Her suffering was not a passing mood; she had carried it since the road to Kaṁsa's arena. Bhagavān resolves long-standing tāpa with a single contact — the same compression seen in Ajāmila's case.

Simply by smelling the fragrance of Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, Trivakrā cleansed away the burning lust Cupid had aroused in her breasts, chest and eyes. With her two arms she embraced between her breasts her lover, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the personification of bliss, and thus she gave up her long-standing distress.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Simply by smelling the fragrance of Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet, Trivakrā cleansed away the burning lust Cupid had aroused in her breasts, chest and eyes. With her two arms she embraced between her breasts her lover, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the personification of bliss, and thus she gave up her long-standing distress.

Commentary

She wiped away the pain of her breasts, chest and eyes by the touch of his feet and smelt his feet.

Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya

Commentary

She removed the pain of her breasts, chest and eyes burning with desire by his foot endowed with unlimited sweetness (ananta), (after smelling the fragrance), or by placing the foot on her breasts and chest. This happened after they enjoyed together. She embraced in the space between her breasts (stanāntara-gatam) her lover who was filled with special mādhurya-bhāva. She gave up her pain which had been present there for a long time.

Śrīdhara Svāmī Gauḍīya

Commentary

By skill in love, her pain arising from not attaining him was destroyed. Her eyes, chest and breasts were afflicted by Cupid. anaṅga-tapta is compounded with kucayoḥ, since her breasts were most afflicted. Or in an indescribable way she smelled his feet using her breasts, chest and eyes. The Lord is called Ananta because he does not allow (an) the devotee to be destroyed (anta) by pain of separation, or because he has no end (ananta) of qualities like mercy and cleverness. She removed the pain of desire (rujaḥ) by his feet or by his feet along with smelling him. After enjoying with him, she embraced he who was dear (kāntam) and the form of bliss, or he who was the form of beauty and bliss (kāntam ānanda-mūrtim). This indicates that he gave her happiness and was happiness itself. Immediately she gave up the pain of not attaining him, though it had lasted for a long time.

Personal Guidance

Simply by smelling His feet's fragrance, Trivakrā cleanses the burning lust from her breasts, chest, eyes; she embraces Him and abandons the long-felt distress of desire. The Lord's feet are the antidote to the very lust His charm aroused.

Reflection Questions

Where could the same Lord who arouses your desire also cure it?
What 'fragrance' of His have you stopped inhaling that used to clear your distress?

Analogy

A fever burns until the cool of the Yamunā touches the skin. So the smell of Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet — not even the feet themselves, only their fragrance — extinguishes a fire kindled by Cupid in Trivakrā's chest. The medicine is gentler than the disease; the medicine is also the Person.
