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.

TRANSLATION

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.

PURPORT

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.
