According to the different types of devotees (with five different sthāyi-bhāvas), there are five different types of rati. These will be considered and ex­plained later, and thus will not be discussed here.

This ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa can be divided into five divisions, which will be described by Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī later on.
