Avajalpa (अवजल्प) refers to “expressing one’s involuntary, or helpless, attachment to Kṛṣṇa with fear imbued with jealousy� 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., avajalpa]. They are full of intense longing, and they arise from such as jealousy, envy, restlessness, pride, and eagerness. Avajalpa is expressing one’s involuntary, or helpless, attachment to Kṛṣṇa with fear imbued with jealousy, while finding in Him faults such as hard-heartedness, lustiness, and villainy.
