In this work, first the primary rasas starting with śānta-rasa will be taken as the predominant rasa (aṅgī). In such cases, the friendly primary rasas and friendly secondary rasas become the subordinate rasas (aṅgas).

Expert literary scholars have analyzed the rasas which are compatible with one another by contrasting the various rasas in a particular mixture under the names whole and part. According to this method, the prominent feeling is called the whole, and the subordinate feeling is called the part.
