• upamantriṇaḥ — jesters, advisors-in-jest
  The court vidūṣaka — comic counselor — is a Vedic institution. Even in Bhagavān's assembly, laughter has its place. Bhakti is not solemn refusal of joy but joy redirected to Him.
• hāsya-rasaiḥ — with comic moods, hāsya-rasas
  Hāsya is one of the nine rasas; even in the rasa-śāstra of bhakti, hāsya-rasa has its place (Bharata-muni, Rūpa Gosvāmī's Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu). Kṛṣṇa enjoys hāsya as ardently as vīra or mādhurya.
• naṭa-ācāryāḥ — expert performers, dance-masters
  Naṭa-ācārya literally 'master-actor.' In Caitanya tradition the term is reclaimed: Mahāprabhu Himself is the supreme naṭa, dancing kṛṣṇa-līlā back into the world.
• vibhum — the all-pervading Lord
  He is Vibhu — vast, all-pervading — and yet sits and receives the dance of one female performer. The vibhu is simultaneously aṇu in attention. Bhakti rests on this double infinity.

• Where have I let spiritual life become joyless?
• What playful element could I welcome back into my devotion?

Jesters and dancers in Bhagavān's court are like crows feeding from the same lake as swans — even play and laughter, in His presence, become bhakti. There is no domain of human life He has not made into His own service.
