Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Her left thigh and other bodily limbs began to tremble. This was a sign of auspiciousness.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Rukmiṇī, whose marriage was approaching (vadhvaḥ), was awaiting the arrival of Kṛṣṇa. Her left, thigh, arm and eye twitched. The limbs are mentioned from lower to higher in placement, but they simultaneously began to quiver. The verb is the subject of each noun. Priya-bhāsinaḥ should be in the neuter to agree with netram, but is in the masculine as poetic license.
