etasya—of this; mohana-ākhyasya—mood known as mohana, or enchanting; gatim—progress; kāmapi—inexplicable; upeyuṣaḥ—having obtained; bhrama-ābhā—resembling bewilderment; kāpi—some; vaicitrī—condition bringing about astonishment; divya-unmāda—transcendental madness; iti—thus; īryate—it is called; udghūrṇā—of the name udghūrṇā; citra-jalpa—of the name citra-jalpa; ādyāḥ—and so on; tat-bhedāḥ—different features of that; bahavaḥ—many; matāḥ—described.


TRANSLATION

"When the ecstatic emotion of enchantment gradually progresses, it becomes similar to bewilderment. Then one reaches the stage of astonishment [vaicitrī], which awakens transcendental madness. Udghūrṇā and citra-jalpa are two among the many divisions of transcendental madness."
