Verse Text

hāsottarā ratir yā syāt sā hāsa-ratir ucyate | evaṁ vismaya-raty-ādyā vijṣeyā ratayaś ca ṣaṭ ||43||

Translation

When hāsa predominates over a mukhya-rati (which becomes parārtha), it is called hāsa-rati. The other six secondary ratis should be similarly understood.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Here is the definition of the secondary ratis. They take prominence over the primary ratis which become parārtha-ratis (nourishing to the secondary ratis).
