The comparison is exact: the city rejoices at Krishna "as the sunless place rejoices in the sun." It is telling that the Lord's presence is for the devotees what light is to darkness and air to stifling closeness — not one pleasure among others, but life itself. Without Him there is the stupor of sunlessness, the deathly stillness of windlessness; with Him, revival and rejoicing. The verse teaches that the Lord is not one good among many but the source of every good and joy; and the company of devotees without Him is like a day without its luminary. Where He appears, all things flourish, for He is the very sun of existence.
