• kṛṣṇa-sandarśana — the sight of Lord Kṛṣṇa
  Sandarśana is not casual seeing but full meeting of eyes — the precise mechanism by which Bhagavān imports His own ānanda into the seer. Gauḍīyas treat darśana as itself a form of bhakti.
• āhlāda — ecstasy
  From ā + √hlād, 'to gladden fully'. Hlādinī is the pleasure-potency of Bhagavān; āhlāda here is its taste flooding back into starved hearts.
• klamāḥ — weariness
  Physical and saṁsāric fatigue together. The verse's economy — one glance, all klama gone — is the Gauḍīya proof that bhakti is svayaṁ-phala, self-fruiting.
• hṛṣīkā-īśam — supreme master of the senses
  Hṛṣīkeśa: the Lord who owns the senses. The kings address Him by this name precisely when their senses are saturated with His form — confessing whose property the indriyas always were.
• prāñjalayaḥ — with joined palms
  Añjali is the bodily posture of śaraṇāgati. After scepters were stripped from these palms, they meet again in the only gesture that matters.

Long-imprisoned men, on stepping into open air, would normally collapse from accumulated exhaustion. These kings do the opposite: one darśana of Kṛṣṇa burns the fatigue off them as the rising sun burns mist off a valley. The body remembers nothing of the dungeon once the eyes find Hṛṣīkeśa.
