Sādhāraṇi Samañjasā Sthāyī Lābhe Bhāba Daśā

Kubjā and the Dvārakā queens are examples of sādhāraṇī-sthāyi-bhāva and samañjasā-sthāyi-bhāva respectively. Only the goddess of Vraja (the gopīs) attain mahā- bhāva, which is divided into rūḍha (advanced) and adhirūḍha (very advanced).

The ecstatic symptoms of rūḍha mahā-bhāva are: nimeṣāsahyatā (inability to tolerate the eyes' blinking), hṛn-mathane khinna (churning of the heart), kalpa-kṣaṇa (thinking a kalpa like a moment), saukhye śaṅkākula (fear, while happy, of future sufferings), ātmāvadhi-vismaraṇa (forgetting everything, even one's own self), and kṣaṇa-kalpa- vivecana (thinking a moment like a kalpa).

Adhirūḍha mahā-bhāva is of two kinds: modana (joy) and mādana (wild passion). Please hear of them. In separation from Kṛṣṇa modana becomes transformed into mohana bewilderment). Then divyonmāda (transcendental madness) is manifest.

Divyonmāda is of two kinds: citra-jalpa (wonderful talk) and udghūrṇa (agitation). Citra-jalpa is of many kinds. When the state of mohana (bewilderment) Śrī Rādhā attains the state called mādana (wild passion). These are the ecstasies of Her eternal pastimes.

The sādhāraṇī lovers (like Kubjā) manifest ecstatic love that is dhūmāyita (smokey). The samañjasa lovers (like the Dvārakā queens) manifest ecstatic love that is dīpta (shining). The samartha lovers (the gopīs) in rūḍha mahā- bhāva manifest ecstastic love that is uddīpta (brilliantly shining). Śrī Rādhā manifests ecstatic love that is sūddīpta (very brilliantly shining), love that glistens like gold. In that love modana and the other bhāvas are always manifest.
