By this natural bhāva, rati (attraction or love) is appears. Though rati is one in speaking about it generally, it appears in various forms when wishing to describe its various qualities.
Purport
All of them can be accepted as different feelings of the heart. Sometimes some of the feelings are quite natural. Sometimes some of the feelings are just temporary appearances. Those symptoms which are very natural always remain, both within and without the devotee.
