These are the words of some friend. These are examples of that friend’s experience of rasas (adbhuta, sakhya, vīra and hāsya), not Kṛṣṇa’s experience of the rasas, since the subject of discussion is the devotee’s experience of bhakti-rasa. Śrīdāma, using a weak little stick to defeat Balarāma infers that he learned the art especially well. Since these actions are performed out of friendship, such things become possible. Instead of keli-samarāṭopotsave (with profuse pride while engaging in mock battle) sometimes keli-samarāṭopakrame (in the course of manifesting pride during mock battle) is seen.
