Rati is the cause of all types of bliss. Therefore, rati is called the most excellent bhāva. Being devoid of this rati, rukṣa or other types of bhāva can never be the shelter of bliss.

None of the above symptoms can be manifested without the basic principle of strong attachment for Kṛṣṇa.

Commentary

Since rati is the cause of all types of astonishing bliss, it is called the most excellent bhāva. The correct version of the last line is na camatkāritāśrayāḥ
