unmÄdera laká¹£aṇa - the symptoms of madness; karÄya - causes; kṛṣṇa - Lord Kṛṣṇa; sphuraṇa - impetus; bhÄva-ÄveÅ›e - in an ecstatic condition; uá¹he - awakens; praṇaya - love; mÄna - disdain; solluṇá¹ha-vacana - of disrespect by sweet words; rÄ«ti - the way; mÄna - honor; garva - pride; vyÄja-stuti - indirect prayer; kabhu - sometimes; nindÄ - blasphemy; kabhu - sometimes; vÄ - or; sammÄna - honor.
The symptoms of madness served as an impetus for remembering Kṛṣṇa. The mood of ecstasy awoke love, disdain, defamation by words, pride, honor and indirect prayer. Thus Śrī Kṛṣṇa was sometimes blasphemed and sometimes honored.
The word unmÄda is explained in the Bhakti-rasÄmá¹›ta-sindhu as extreme joy, misfortune and bewilderment in the heart due to separation. Symptoms of unmÄda are laughing like a madman, dancing, singing, performing ineffectual activities, talking nonsense, running, shouting and sometimes working in contradictory ways. The word praṇaya is explained thus: When there is a possibility of receiving direct honor but it is avoided, that love is called praṇaya. ÅšrÄ«la RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ«, in his Ujjvala-nÄ«lamaṇi, explains the word mÄna thus: When the lover feels novel sweetness by exchanging hearty loving words but wishes to hide his feelings by crooked means, mÄna is experienced.
