ucur mukundaika-dhiyo

gira unmatta-vaj jadam

cintayantyo ’ravindaksam

tani me gadatah srnu

 

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

The queens would become stunned in ecstatic trance, their minds absorbed in Krsna alone. Then, thinking of their lotus-eyed Lord, they would speak as if insane. Please hear these words from me as I relate them.

 

Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura explains that this superficial appearance of insanity in Lord Krsna’s queens, as if they had become intoxicated by dhattura or some other hallucinogenic drug, was in fact the manifestation of the sixth progressive stage of pure love of Godhead, technically known as prema-vaicitrya. Srila Rupa Gosvami refers to this variety of anuraga in his Ujjvala-nilamani (15.134):

 

priyasya sannikarse ’pi

premotkarsa-svabhavatah

ya vislesa-dhiyartis tat

prema-vaicitryam ucyate

 

“When, as a natural by-product of one’s extreme love, one feels the distress of separation even in the direct presence of the beloved, this state is called prema-vaicitrya.”
