Translation
In the presence of the glaring effulgence of the bodily luster of Nārāyaṇa, everyone else’s luster faded away, and everyone stopped speaking. Fearful with awe and veneration, all present touched their hands to their heads and prepared to offer their prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Adhokṣaja.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
With their effulgence fading in his luster, with choked voices, with agitated hearts, putting their folded hands on their heads, they offered prayers to Viṣṇu.
Sanna-jihvāh means choked voices. Sasādhvasāh means “in an agitated state.” They placed their hands on their heads.
