Exegesis
The aorist participle emblepsas {ἐμβλέψας | em-blép-sas} ‘having looked intently’ precedes and modifies the main verb egapesen {ἠγάπησεν | ē-gá-pē-sen} ‘he loved’, forming a participial clause that presents the focused gaze as the circumstance accompanying the act of love.
In context — Mark 10:21
But Jesus , having looked intently at him, loved him, and He said to him, “One thing you lack: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
