Shloka 32
The Solar Eclipse at Samanta-pañcaka and the Great Reunion of Yādavas, Pāṇḍavas, and Vraja
तं दृष्ट्वा वृष्णयो हृष्टास्तन्व: प्राणमिवोत्थिता: । परिषस्वजिरे गाढं चिरदर्शनकातरा: ॥ ३२ ॥
taṁ dṛṣṭvā vṛṣṇayo hṛṣṭās tanvaḥ prāṇam ivotthitāḥ pariṣasvajire gāḍhaṁ cira-darśana-kātarāḥ
Ao ver Nanda, os Vṛṣṇis encheram-se de júbilo e se ergueram como se um corpo sem vida recuperasse o alento. Aflitos por tanto tempo sem vê-lo, abraçaram-no com força.

Regularly reconnect with Krishna through hearing, chanting, and satsanga—when spiritual connection is renewed after neglect, devotion can feel revitalized like life returning to the body.
