The other nine--mada, śrama, trāsa, apasmāra, ālasya, ugratā, krodha, asūyā and nidrā-- do not nourish prīti-rasa. In meeting the Lord, harṣa, garva and dhṛti manifest, and in separation from the Lord, klama (glāni), vyādhi and mṛti manifest. According to the devotees, the remaining eighteen vyabhicāri-bhāvas manifest both in union with and separation from the Lord.

When a devotee meets Kṛṣṇa, there are symptoms of jubilation, pride and perseverance, and when he is feeling great separation from Kṛṣṇa, the symptoms of ghastliness, disease and signs of death become prominent.

Commentary

Madādīnām refers to mada, śrama, trāsa, apasmāra, ālasya, ugratā, krodha, asūyā and nidrā. Mada (intoxication or rapture) does not nourish dāsya-rasa at all, because the transformations that occur from drinking liquor or indulgence in love are not suitable for service. [Note: The two types of mada are intoxication from liquor and love. (2.4.35)] Sometimes śrama (fatigue) will appear in dāsya-bhakti because it can nourish the eagerness to serve. However, it should not give rise to ālasya (lack of enthusiasm to do service). If trāsa and the other vyabhicāri-bhāvas mentioned arise in connection with enemies of Kṛṣṇa, then they nourish dāsya-rasa. Thus the statement that some vyabhicāri-bhāvas do not nourish dāsya-rasa depends on where the mind of the devotee is directed. The same considerations should be understood in relation to sakhya and other rasas.
