TRANSLATION

Rukmini's mind was overwhelmed with unhappiness, fear and grief. Her bangles slipped from her hand, and her fan fell to the ground. In her bewilderment she suddenly fainted, her hair scattering all about as her body fell to the ground like a plantain tree blown over by the wind.

PURPORT

Shocked by Lord Krsna's words, Rukmini could not understand that the Lord was only teasing, and thus she displayed these ecstatic symptoms of grief, which Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti characterizes as sattvika ecstasies ranging from "becoming stunned" to "dissolution."
