TEXT 41

śrī-rādhāra pralāpa yaiche uddhava-darśane
seimata unmāda-pralāpa kare rātri-dine


SYNONYMS

śrī-rādhāra—of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī; pralāpa—talking; yaiche—as She did; uddhava-darśane—by meeting Uddhava; sei-mata—exactly like that; unmāda—madness; pralāpa—talking inconsistently; kare—does; rātri-dine—day and night.


TRANSLATION

As Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī talked inconsistently when She met Uddhava, so also Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu relished, both day and night, such ecstatic talk in the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.


PURPORT

In this connection one should refer to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī's soliloquy after meeting Uddhava in Vṛndāvana. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu presented a similar picture of such ecstatic imaginary talking. Full of jealousy and madness symptomizing neglect by Kṛṣṇa, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, criticizing a bumblebee, talked just like a madwoman. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, in the last days of His pastimes, exhibited all the symptoms of such ecstasy. In this connection one should refer to the Fourth Chapter of Ādi-līlā, verses 107 and 108.
