Verse Text
atha anaucityam –
asatyatvam ayogyatvam anaucityaṁ dvidhā bhavet |
aprāṇini bhaved ādyaḥ tiryag-ādiṣu cāntimam ||228||
Translation
There are two types of inappropriateness: non-existent (asatya) and unqualified (ayogya). “Non-existent” means attributing vyabhicāri-bhāvas to inanimate objects (which cannot have emotions). “Unqualified” means attributing the bhāvas to animals (who are unqualified for higher emotions).
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Anaucityam means “unsuitability.” In this description of unsuitability, the bhāvas do not really exist, and thus all are really asatya, non-existent. However, the two types are distinguished in order to analyze unsuitability in detail. There is no existence of pride or other vyabhicāri-bhāvas in animals or inanimate objects. However, because the animals have life, among the animals, some may have the possibility of the bhāvas. Thus they are distinguished as superior to the non-moving objects like trees.
