The word anādi (without beginning) is indicatory only (It represents the condition of the eternal associates, but the principle should also apply to those who have achieved a primary rasa by sādhana as well.) Thus anādi indicates only that the primary rasa has been previously firmly established. It is not like the vyabhicāri-bhāvas or secondary rasas. This comparison is used to indicate the difference of the main rasa in the devotee from the others. Though the vyabhicāri-bhāvas and secondary rasas disappear, the main primary rasa does not.
