Verse Text
unmādo, yathā saptame –
nadati kvacid utkaṇṭho vilajjo nṛtyati kvacit |
kvacit tad-bhāvanā-yuktas tanmayo 'nucakāra ha ||110||
Translation
An example of unmāda (insanity) in utkaṇṭḥitam, from the Seventh Canto: Sometimes, upon seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Prahlāda Mahārāja would loudly call in full anxiety. He sometimes lost his shyness in jubilation and began dancing in ecstasy, and sometimes, being fully absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa, he felt oneness and imitated the pastimes of the Lord. SB 7.4.40
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Seventh Canto, Fourth Chapter, verse 40, Prahlāda Mahārāja says that even in his childhood, when he was loudly speaking the glories of the Lord, he used to dance just like a shameless madman. And sometimes, being fully absorbed in thought on the pastimes of the Lord, he used to imitate such pastimes. This is an instance of a devotee’s being almost like a madman.
