মহানুভাবের চিত্তের স্বভাব এই হয় ।
পুষ্প-সম কোমল, কঠিন বজ্রময় ॥ ৭২ ॥
mahanubhavera cittera svabhava ei haya
puspa-sama komala, kathina vajra-maya
maha-anubhavera-of a great personality; cittera-of the mind; svabhava-the nature; ei haya-this is; puspa-sama-like a flower; komala-soft; kathina-hard; vajra-maya-like a thunderbolt.
This is the nature of the mind of an uncommon personality. Sometimes it is soft like a flower, but sometimes it is as hard as a thunderbolt.
The softness of a flower and the hardness of a thunderbolt are reconciled in the behavior of a great personality. The following quotation from
Uttara-rama-carita (2.7) explains this behavior. One may also consult
Madhya-lila, Third Chapter, verse
212.
