Udghūrṇā (उद्घूर्णा) refers to the “state of divya-unmāda in which many varieties of astounding and uncontrollable endeavors are manifest” (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. [...] The state of divya-unmāda in which many varieties of astounding and uncontrollable endeavors are manifest is called udghūrṇā. Rādhikā experienced udghūrṇā when Kṛṣṇa departed for Mathurā. At that time, as if in complete forgetfulness due to feelings of separation from Kṛṣṇa, Rādhikā thought, “Kṛṣṇa is coming; He will be here in just a moment.” Thinking in that way, She made the bed in Her kuñja. Sometimes She rebuked the dark clouds like a nāyikā who expresses anger towards her unfaithful lover (khaṇḍitā), and sometimes She wandered around hurriedly in the dense darkness of the night, like a nāyikā who makes a secret journey to meet with her lover (abhisāriṇī).
