214 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 2
stuti—indirect prayer; kabhu—sometimes; ninda—blasphemy; kabhu—
sometimes; va—or; sammana—honor.
TRANSLATION
The symptoms of madness served as an impetus for remembering
Krsna. The mood of ecstasy awoke love, disdain, defamation by words,
pride, honor and indirect prayer. Thus Sri Krsna was sometimes
blasphemed and sometimes honored.
PURPORT
The word unmda is explained in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu as extreme joy,
misfortune and bewilderment in the heart due to separation. Symptoms of
unmada are laughing like a madman, dancing, singing, performing ineffectual
activities, talking nonsense, running, shouting and sometimes working in con-
tradictory ways. The word pranaya is explained thus: When there is a
possibility to receive direct honor, but it is avoided, that love is called pranaya.
Srila Rapa Gosvami, in his Ujjvala-nilamani, explains the word mana thus:
When the lover feels novel sweetness by exchanging hearty loving words but
wishes to hide his feelings by crooked means, mana is experienced.
