Verse Text

priyotthe pulakaḥ sāntvaṁ cāpalyābhyudgamādayaḥ | apriyotthe tu bhū-pāta-vikrośa-bhramaṇādayaḥ ||60||

Translation

In āvega arising from dear objects, standing of hair on end, words of affection, fickleness, and rising to one’s feet appear. In āvega arising from detested objects, falling on the ground, shouting and wandering about appear.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Sāntvam means “uttering affectionate words.” Abhyudgama means abhyutthana, rising up.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

When there is emotion caused by seeing something very dear, one can speak very swiftly and use kind words. When there is emotion caused by seeing something detestable, one cries very loudly.
