Vijalpa (विजल्प) refers to “speech in which one outwardly makes malicious allegations against Kṛṣṇa” and represents one of the ten kinds of Citrajalpa or “discourses that occur when one meets a friend of one’s beloved”, according to a discussion between Vijaya Kumāra and Śrī Gopāla Guru Gosvāmī.—There are ten limbs of citrajalpa, [e.g., vijalpa]. They are full of intense longing, and they arise from bhāvas such as jealousy, envy, restlessness, pride, and eagerness. Vijalpa refers to speech in which one outwardly makes malicious allegations against Kṛṣṇa, while the aspect of māna is hidden in the heart.
