In this excerpt from Ernest Shackleton’s memoir South!, which word could best replace the word irradiated?

We gazed ahead with increasing eagerness, and at 12.30 p.m., through a rift in the clouds, McCarthy caught a glimpse of the black cliffs of South Georgia, just fourteen days after our departure from Elephant Island. It was a glad moment. Thirst-ridden, chilled, and weak as we were, happiness irradiated us. The job was nearly done.

Well, yes, you need to know what `irradiated` means. So, to kind of get things moving, I will tell you. The terms irradiate is "to illuminate, or enlighten intellectually or spiritually; to cast upon"~ https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irradiate#:~:text=1a%20%3A%20to%20affect%20or,to%20enlighten%20intellectually%20or%20spiritually Now, the question says "...which word could best replace..." so I am assuming there is a select list of words we must choose from. Please provide that as well (:
