Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 5 Texts 35-36


vicitraṁ tasya kāruṇya-
bharaṁ santatam āpnuvan
vasaṁs tatra mahānanda-
pūrān anubhavāmi yān

teṣāṁ nirūpaṇaṁ kartuṁ
vācā cittena vā janaḥ
brahmāyuṣāpi kaḥ śakto
bhagavad-bhaktimān api

TRANSLATION
While residing there in Dvārakā I constantly, abundantly received Lord Kṛṣṇa’s wonderful mercy. I tasted such a flood of supreme ecstasy that no one could tell of it in words, or even think of it within the mind, not even a pure devotee of the Lord with a lifetime of Brahmā.

With His two mothers and all these queens surrounding Him shyly, the Lord entered His palace, followed also by several groups of young sons, who added to the splendor of that procession. Within His palace, He concealed the emotions He was feeling, and with apparent pleasure He sat down on the best of thrones.
