Verse Text
tatra hāsyāparasaḥ –
palāyamānam udvīkṣya capalāyata-locanam |
kṛṣṇam ārāj jarāsandhaḥ solluṇṭham ahasīn muhuḥ ||39||
Translation
Seeing from far off restless-eyed Kṛṣṇa fleeing, Jarāsandha began to laugh repeatedly.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
The laughter of Jarāsandha is certainly aparasa. If one of Jarāsandha’s followers, with demonic nature laughs at Kṛṣṇa or the event, it is also aparasa. If one of the devotees laughs at the event, it is pure hāsya-rasa.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When Kṛṣṇa was fleeing from the battlefield, from a distant place Jarāsandha was watching Him with restless eyes and was feeling very proud. Being thus puffed up with his conquest, he was repeatedly laughing. This is an example of aparasa.
