Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharma

Prajalpa (प्रजल्प) refers to “revealing the tactlessness of one’s lover, using various neglectful mannerisms that are imbued with malice, jealousy, and pride” and represents one of the ten kinds of Citrajalpa or “discourses that occur when one meets a friend of one’s beloved”, according to a discussion between Vijaya Kumāra and Śrī Gopāla Guru Gosvāmī.—There are ten limbs of citrajalpa, [e.g., prajalpa]. They are full of intense longing, and they arise from bhāvas such as jealousy, envy, restlessness, pride, and eagerness.
