Gazing upon the face of the Lord resembling a blue lotus bud, with even more beautiful lips, and a smile like a jasmine flower, the Kumāras, having attained the mercy of the devotees, then looked at his lotus feet with ruby-like toe nails, and again looked at his face. The scent of tulasī purified their prāṇas and then the senses, since the senses are dependent on the prāṇas. First the eyes received the qualification for the sweetness of the Lord’s form. Because of the unlimited variety of sweetness within each limb of the Lord, they desired to simultaneously experience all the sweetness, and thus disturbance spread throughout their bodies. In this way, they lost control because of the friction created by the bliss. That is described in this verse. They certainly (vai) saw the Lord’s face like the inner part of a blue lotus bud, without the rough outer covering, and relished its sweetness. His lips were even more beautiful. Upon his lips was a smile, which was most beautiful. They had been previously blessed by Brahmā, their father, and their brother Nārada, for achieving bhakti. Now the fruits of that blessing were manifesting (labhāśīṣaḥ). What was the beauty of the Lord’s feet? Having experienced a little of the sweetness of the Lord’s face, and being unsatisfied, they looked again at his beautiful feet which were the shelter of ruby nails. And again looking at the under side of his feet, they again and again looked upon his face. Amara-koṣa says nirvarṇanaṁ tu nidhyānaṁ darśanālokanekṣaṇam: all these words mean “looking.” Śrīdhara Svāmī says that because they were unable to experience the beauty of all of the Lord’s limbs simultaneously, they then began to meditate on those limbs (nidadhyuḥ). Labhāśiṣaḥ and pitrānuvarṇita raha (verse 46) indicate that the Lord’s mercy follows after the mercy of the devotees and, by the mercy of the Lord, one achieves bhakti. Because statements are made generally because of predominance of one factor, one can say that bhakti arises by the mercy of the Lord, though actually the devotees first give mercy. Thus one can say that by the mercy of the Lord, the Kumāras achieved bhakti and experienced the sweetness of the Lord.
