• vīrya-durmadaḥ — intoxicated by his strength
  Compound: vīrya (prowess) + durmadaḥ (badly intoxicated). Gauḍīyas list mada (intoxication of strength, birth, learning, beauty, etc.) among the six enemies of bhakti. Bāṇa's bhakti has been infiltrated by mada precisely because Śiva has been so generous.
• kirīṭena — with his helmet
  Instrumental of kirīṭa. The bowing convention is forehead-to-feet; Bāṇa keeps his helmet on. The picture is of a devotee who refuses to put down what makes him impressive even when bowing. Vraja's pure bhaktas, by contrast, drop everything to touch the dust of Kṛṣṇa's feet.
• pada-ambujam — lotus feet
  Compound: pada (foot) + ambujam (lotus). Standard Vaiṣṇava image. The feet of any deva are 'lotus' only because they too take their fragrance from Hari's pada-padma (cf. SB 1.11.25). The image foreshadows where this episode actually ends: at Kṛṣṇa's feet.
• arka-varṇena — whose color was like the sun
  Compound: arka (sun) + varṇena (with color). The helmet outshines its wearer. In Vraja, the only true sun-effulgence is Kṛṣṇa's own (kṛṣṇa sūrya-sama); demonic ornament is borrowed brightness that will dim the moment Bhagavān appears.

  His Grace Padaseva Prabhu· Oriya

Like a king who, having just been given a kingdom, immediately tests the limits of his crown against the throne itself, Bāṇa touched Śiva's feet with his sun-bright helmet — the gesture of pratiṣṭhā-bhakti, devotion that uses worship as a stage for its own glitter.
