SB 10.81.26
pati-vrata patim drstva
premotkanthasru-locana
militaksy anamad buddhya
manasa parisasvaje
Translation:
When the chaste lady saw her husband, her eyes filled with tears of love and eagerness. As she held her eyes closed, she solemnly bowed down to him, and in her heart she embraced him.
SB 10.81.27
patnim viksya visphurantim
devim vaimanikim iva
dasinam niska-kanthinam
madhye bhantim sa vismitah
Translation:
Sudama was amazed to see his wife. Shining forth in the midst of maidservants adorned with jeweled lockets, she looked as effulgent as a demigoddess in her celestial airplane.
Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti explains that up to now the Supreme Lord had kept the brahmana in his wretched state so that his wife could recognize him.
