Srimad Bhagavatam
Canto 10 Chapter 38 Text 7

kamso batadyakrta me ’ty-anugraham
draksye ’nghri-padmam prahito ’muna hareh
krtavatarasya duratyayam tamah
purve ’taran yan-nakha-mandala-tvisa

TRANSLATION
Indeed, today King Kamsa has shown me extreme mercy by sending me to see the lotus feet of Lord Hari, who has now appeared in this world. Simply by the effulgence of His toenails, many souls in the past have transcended the insurmountable darkness of material existence and achieved liberation.

Krsna and Balarama Meet the Inhabitants of Vrndavana/Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam/Sunday Sangas

Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10 Chapter 82 Text 39

Srimad Bhagavatam
Canto 10 Chapter 82 Text 39

sri-suka uvaca
gopyas ca krsnam upalabhya cirad abhistam
yat-preksane drsisu paksma-krtam sapanti
drgbhir hrdi-krtam alam parirabhya sarvas
tad-bhavam apur api nitya-yujam durapam

TRANSLATION
Sukadeva Gosvami said: While gazing at their beloved Krsna, the young gopis used to condemn the creator of their eyelids, [which would momentarily block their vision of Him]. Now, seeing Krsna again after such a long separation, with their eyes they took Him into their hearts, and there they embraced Him to their full satisfaction. In this way they became totally absorbed in ecstatic meditation on Him, although those who constantly practice mystic yoga find such absorption difficult to achieve.
