শুনি’ মাধবেন্দ্র-মনে ক্রোধ উপজিল ।
‘দূর, দূর, পাপিষ্ঠ’ বলি’ ভর্ৎসনা করিল ॥ ২২ ॥
śuni’ mādhavendra-mane krodha upajila
‘dūra, dūra, pāpiṣṭha’ bali’ bhartsanā karila

Mādhavendra Purī’s lamentation arose from transcendental separation, the highest stage of ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa. It was not ordinary material sorrow.
Rāmacandra Purī thought himself very advanced but could not understand these feelings. Being latently an impersonalist, he advised his spiritual master to remember Brahman.
Mādhavendra Purī immediately rebuked him. Such a reprimand from the spiritual master is for the disciple’s betterment.
