In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharmaCitrajalpa (चित्रजल्प) refers to the “discourses that occur when one meets a friend of one’s beloved” (Cf. Mohana), according to a discussion between Vijaya Kumāra and Śrī Gopāla Guru Gosvāmī.—When mohana-bhāva attains a unique, indescribable mode of behavior, developing into a wondrous condition that resembles a state of utter confusion, then it is divya-unmāda. It has many different features such as udghūrṇā and citrajalpa. [...] Citrajalpa consists of the discourses that occur when one meets a friend of one’s beloved. They are full of intense longing, and they arise from bhāvas such as jealousy, envy, restlessness, pride, and eagerness.
There are ten limbs of citrajalpa, namely,
- prajalpa,
- parijalpa,
- vijalpa,
- ujjalpa,
- sañjalpa,
- avajalpa,
- abhijalpa,
- ājalpa,
- pratijalpa, and
- sujalpa.
You can find a description of them in Bhramara-gītā in the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
