Verse Text
atha aparasāḥ –
kṛṣṇa-tat-pratipakṣaś ced viṣayāśrayatāṁ gatāḥ |
hāsādīnāṁ tadā te ’tra prājṣair aparasā matāḥ ||38||
Translation
If Kṛṣṇa becomes the viṣaya and His enemies become the āśraya of hāsya and other secondary rasas, [Note: The enemies of Kṛṣṇa can not be the āśraya for the primary rasas, because they would no longer be enemies.] it is called aparasa by the wise.
