His gentle smile, radiant like moonshine, enhanced the exquisiteness of His countenance and showered unlimited mercy on everyone.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Then, from a far distance, I saw the moon-like countenance of Śrī Puruṣottama-deva, the bestower of happiness to all. Two large, bright eyes were resplendent on His lovely, enchanting face; an enchanting tilaka of jewels sparkled on His forehead; His complexion was like the glow of fresh rainclouds; and His reddish lips resembled fully-blossomed bāndhulī flowers. Those lips, which beautified His exquisite face with a moon-like, radiant smile, were showering the honey of His mercy on everyone.” This was Śrī Gopa-kumāra’s first vision of the moon-like face of Jagannātha, which he saw from afar. For this reason, he describes the beauty of His eyes and so on in this manner.
