Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta 1.6.4

bhūmau kvāpi skhalati patati kvāpi tiṣṭhaty aceṣṭaḥ

kvāpy ākrośan plutibhir ayate gāyati kvāpi nṛtyan
sarvaṁ kvāpi śrayati yugapat prema-sampad-vikāram

TRANSLATION
He sometimes tripped and fell to the ground and sometimes stood motionless. Sometimes his body trembled, or he rolled on the ground, or he wept in great distress. He sometimes shouted and jumped about, sometimes sang and danced. And sometimes all the transformations of priceless love of God converged in him at once.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta 1.6.1-3

śrī-parīkṣid uvāca
tac chrutvārye mahā-prema-
rasāveśena yantritaḥ
mahā-viṣṇu-priyo vīṇā-
hasto ’sau vismṛtākhilaḥ
sadā-dvāravatī-vāsā-
bhyastāntaḥ-pura-vartmanā
prabhu-prāsāda-deśāntaḥ-
praveśāścarya-vāhinā
pūrvābhyāsād ivābhyāsaṁ
prāsādasya gato muniḥ
bhūtāviṣṭo mahonmāda-
gṛhītaś ca yathetaraḥ

TRANSLATION
Śrī Parīkṣit said: Noble mother, after hearing Ugrasena’s advice, Nārada, the dear devotee of Lord Mahā-viṣṇu, became absorbed in the taste of exalted love of God, which seized him in its grip. Forgetting everything else, he started off, vīṇā in hand. Having spent much time before in Dvārakā, Nārada automatically took the familiar roads to the center of the city, amazing roads that led to the neighborhood of the Lord’s palaces, and came to a palace of Kṛṣṇa’s that he knew how to reach from earlier visits. Under the spell of intense transcendental agitation, Nārada seemed like an ordinary person haunted by a ghost.
