Sadharani Samanjasa

Rupanuga Bhajana Darpana Song 24

1

sādhāraṇi samañjasā sthāyī lābhe
bhāba daśā kubjā āra mahiṣī pramāṇa
eka braja-debī-gaṇe mahā-bhāba
saṅghaṭane rūḍha adhirūḍha su-bidhāna

citra-jalpa (various types of insane raving speech). and

2

nimeṣāsahyatā tāya hṛn-mathane khinna
prāya kalpa khaṇa saukhye śaṅkākula
ātmābadhi bismaraṇa khaṇa kalpa
bibecana joge bā bijoge samatula

udghurna (uncontrollably wonder-struck giddiness). After She relishes Her mohana state of wonder-struck astonishment, Sri Radha attains an even more essential condition called madana, or madly intoxicated amorous exhilaration. This is the summit of ecstasy that stimulates the flow of Her eternal pastimes.

adhirūḍha bhābe punah ̣ dwi-prakāra
bheda śuna modana mādana nāme khyāta
biśleṣa daśāte punah ̣ modana hoya
mohana dibyonmāda tāhe hoya jata

Now kindly hear of the two divisions of the adhirudha maha-bhava, known as modana (divine pleasure) and madana (madly intoxicated amorous exhilaration). In separation from Krsna, the modana also becomes what in known as mohana (wonder- struk astonishment) at a certain stage, thereby producing a transcendental madness called divyonmada.

dibyonmāda dwi-prakāra citra-jalpodghūrṇa
āra citra-jalpa bahu-bidha
tāya mohanete śrī-rādhāra mādanākhya
daśā sāra nitya-līlāmoyī bhāba pāya

This divyonmada also has two divisions known as

5

sādhāraṇī dhūmayitā samañjasā sadā
dīpta rūḍhe tathoddīpta samarthāya
śuddīpta śrī-rādhā-prema jena
ujjwalita hema modanādi bhābe sadā tāya

The sadharani lovers (common girls like Kubja ) have smoldering love. The samanjasa lovers (consistent wives like the Queens of Dvaraka ) have ignited love. The samartha lovers (the Vraja gopis ) have burning ecstasy; but above all of them, Sri Radha's loving ecstasies are brilliantly blazing like the dazzling shimmer of pure gold, for only in Her moods can one find these topmost brilliant ecstasies headed by modana and madana.
