# Cc. Madhya 6.13 > ‘অধিরূঢ় ভাব’ যাঁর, তাঁর এ বিকার । > মনুষ্যের দেহে দেখি, — বড় চমৎকার ॥১৩॥ ## Text > 'adhirūḍha bhāva' yāṅra, tāṅra e vikāra > manuṣyera dehe dekhi,—baḍa camatkāra ## Synonyms *adhirūḍha bhāva*—an ecstasy technically known as *adhirūḍha*; *yāṅra*—of whom; *tāṅra*—of Him; *e*—this; *vikāra*—transformation; *manuṣyera*—of a human being; *dehe*—in the body; *dekhi*—I see; *baḍa camatkāra*—very wonderful. ## Translation **Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya considered, "The uncommon ecstatic symptoms of adhirūḍha-bhāva are appearing in the body of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. This is very wonderful! How are they possible in the body of a human being?"** ## Purport Adhirūḍha-bhāva, or *adhirūḍha-mahābhāva,* is explained in the *Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi,* by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura quotes Rūpa Gosvāmī as follows: "The loving propensity of the *āśraya* (devotee) toward the *viṣaya* (Lord) becomes so ecstatic that even after enjoying the company of the beloved the devotee feels that his enjoyment is insufficient. At such a time, the lover sees the beloved in different ways. Such a development of ecstasy is called *anurāga.* When *anurāga* reaches its highest limit and becomes perceivable in the body, it is called *bhāva.* When the bodily symptoms are not very distinct, however, the emotional state is still called *anurāga,* not *bhāva.* When *bhāva* ecstasy is intensified, it is called *mahā-bhāva.* The symptoms of *mahā-bhāva* are visible only in the bodies of eternal associates like the *gopīs.*"
