English translation
An example of unmāda (insanity) in utkaṇṭhitam, from the Seventh Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam [7.4.40]:
“Sometimes, upon seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Prahlāda Mahārāja would loudly call in full anxiety. He sometimes lost his shyness in jubilation and began dancing in ecstasy, and sometimes, being fully absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa, he felt oneness and imitated the pastimes of the Lord.”
