Verse Text

tatra raty-anusparśanaḥ – yaḥ svato rati-gandhena vihīno ’pi prasaṅgataḥ | paścād ratiṁ spṛśed eṣa raty-anusparśano mataḥ ||220||

Translation

Influenced by genuine rati: When a vyabhicāri-bhāva appears spontaneously but devoid of even rati-gandha (the third type of independent vyabhicāri-bhāva, having genuine rati as the indirect cause), but is related to genuine rati because the experiencer has permanent genuine rati, it is called raty-anusparśana-svatantra-vyabhicāri-bhāva.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

This kind of hopelessness felt by the brāhmaṇas who were performing ritualistic ceremonies shows practically no attachment for Kṛṣṇa.
