Cc Ādi 14.56

বর শুনিঽ কন্যাগণের অন্তরে সন্তোষ বাহিরে ভর্ত্সন করে করিঽ মিথ্যা রোষ

वर शुनिऽ कन्यागणेर अन्तरे सन्तोष बाहिरे भर्त्सन करे करिऽ मिथ्या रोष

vara śuni' kanyā-gaṇera antare santoṣa bāhire bhartsana kare kari' mithyā roṣa

Synonyms

vara śuni'hearing the benediction; kanyā-gaṇeraof the girls; antarewithin; santoṣavery much satisfaction; bāhireexternally; bhartsanarebuking; karethey do; kari'making; mithyāfalse; roṣaanger..

Translation

Hearing this benediction of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, all the girls were inwardly very happy; but externally, as it is natural for girls, they rebuked the Lord under the pretense of anger.

Purport

This double-dealing is natural for girls. When they are satisfied within, they externally show dissatisfaction. Such feminine dealings are very palatable to boys who try to make friendships with them.
