Verse Text

evam anye ’pi vijṣeyās te ’dbhutāparasādayaḥ | uttamās tu rasābhāsāḥ kaiścid rasatayoditāḥ ||40||

Translation

In a similar way, one should understand examples of aparasa for adbhūta and other rasas. Some persons consider superior rasābhāsa (uparasa) to be rasa, because it has a relishable nature.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

The meaning of the whole topic is presented in summary. vibhāvādyā mitho yogyāḥ sampadyante rasāya te vairasyāyānyathā sā tu yogyatā loka-viśrutā The mutual combinations of vibhāva and other elements should produce rasa, without producing distaste. The ability of that combination to do so is acknowledged by all.
