Mukhya-rati (Primary rati) A rati which is śuddha-sattva-viśeṣātmā (composed of the hlādinī and saṁvit śaktis) is called a primary rati. Though this is the primary rati, it takes two forms: svārtha and parārtha.

These symptoms of ecstatic love are possible only when one is fully situated in a transcendental position. Direct ecstatic love can be divided into two groups—namely, selfish and selfless.
