In pure vatsala-rasa, there is no friendship with other primary rasas. For this reason, primary rasas as aṅgas for vatsala-rasa as aṅgī have not been described.

Commentary

In pure (kevale) vatsala-rasa there is no friendship with primary rasas. This observation can be ascertained by looking elsewhere in the text (verse 6). Thus, in discussing vatsala-rasa, the other primary rasas (tasya) have not been described here as aṅgas.
