"When the ecstatic emotion of enchantment gradually progresses, it becomes similar to bewilderment. Then one reaches the stage of astonishment [vaicitrī], which awakens transcendental madness. Udghūrṇā and citra-jalpa are two among the many divisions of transcendental madness."

This is a quotation from the Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi (Sthāyibhāva-prakaraṇa 190).
