O King! His jokings and frank talks were pleasing and beautifully decorated with smiles. His addresses unto me as “O son of Pṛthā, O friend, O son of the Kuru dynasty,” and all such heartiness are now remembered by me, and thus I am overwhelmed.

Translation
O King! On remembering Mādhava’s joking words, splendid with smiles, charm and eloquence, our conversations, which touched the heart, while he addressed me as “Pārtha, Arjuna, friend, joy of Kurus,” my heart becomes agitated.
Commentary
The words touched his heart because of their sweet syllables. Luṭhanti stands for loṭhayanti. Not using the causative form is poetic license.

Personal Guidance
His jokings and frank talks were pleasing, beautifully decorated with smiles. 'O son of Pṛthā, O friend, O son of Kuru' — these are now remembered. Specific names, specific tones — that's what we miss.
Reflection Questions
- What specific way someone addressed me do I now miss?
- Where could I be more specific in how I address those I love now?
