  • phulla - locanaiḥ — with blossoming eyes
    Phulla — bloomed. Eyes opening like lotuses in sunlight. The household's eyes mirror Kṛṣṇa's own aravinda-eyes; love is recognised by similarity.
  • sa - sambhramaiḥ — in a flurry, with eager confusion
    Sambhrama — the fluster of welcoming a beloved guest. Etiquette here permits — even prescribes — beautiful disarray.
  • mukundaḥ — Kṛṣṇa, the giver of mukti
    Mukunda enters the inner palace. His entrance is itself the household's mukti — release from the long wait.
With wide-open eyes, the members of the royal household came forward in a flurry to lovingly greet Lord Mukunda, and thus the Lord entered the royal palace.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
With wide-open eyes, the members of the royal household came forward in a flurry to lovingly greet Lord Mukunda, and thus the Lord entered the royal palace.
Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

Now the entrance into the palace is described. He was met by the palace residents with affection, and joyful eyes, who moved quickly (sa-sambhramaiḥ). He entered the palace gracefully with his the splendor of his attendants (pra—aviśat).

The members of the royal household rushing out wide-eyed to greet Mukunda is like the lamps of a temple all leaning toward an open door because the wind has finally arrived from the right quarter — the household reorients to its breath.
