Verse Text
atha rati-gandhiḥ –
yaḥ svātantrye ’pi tad-gandhaṁ rati-gandhir vyanakti saḥ ||222||
Translation
When a vyabhicāri-bhāva shows a touch of rati even though it remains independent, it is called rati-gandhi-svatantra-vyabhicāri-bhāva.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
That vyabhicāri-bhāva (yaḥ) which shows a trace of rati (rati-gandhām) though it remains independent is called rati-gandhi.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
There is another hopelessness, however, which shows attachment for Kṛṣṇa. When the bull demon attacked the damsels of Vraja, they began to cry out, “Dear Kṛṣṇa—please save us! We are now gone!” This is hopelessness with attachment for Kṛṣṇa.
