Verse Text

tasya ceṣṭā-viśeṣādyās tasminn uddīpanā matāḥ | kriyās tu netra-vistāra-stambhāśru-pulakādayaḥ ||3||

Translation

Particular actions of Kṛṣṇa are the uddīpanas. Opening the eyes wide is the anubhāva. Paralysis, tears, hair standing on end are the sāttvika-bhāvas. [Note: Wide eyes, paralysis, tears and hair standing on end are described as kriyāḥ. Kriya usually refers to anubhāvas, however here it seems to refer to sāttvika-bhāvas as well, since all items except wide eyes are sāttvika-bhāvas.]
