Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 13.41
শ্রীরাধার প্রলাপ যৈছে উদ্ধব–দর্শনে ।
সেইমত উন্মাদ–প্রলাপ করে রাত্রি–দিনে ॥ ৪১ ॥
śrī-rādhāra pralāpa yaiche uddhava-darśane
seimata unmāda-pralāpa kare rātri-dine
As Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī talked inconsistently when She met Uddhava, so also Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu relished, both day and night, such ecstatic talk in the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.

After meeting Uddhava, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī spoke inconsistently in ecstasy, criticizing a bumblebee.
Her talk expressed jealousy and madness arising from feeling neglected by Kṛṣṇa.
In the last days of His pastimes, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu exhibited these symptoms of ecstasy. Day and night, He relished such talk in Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s mood.
