1.528.p2

atra sātvatyā raudrānupraveśa-kathanaṃ raudra-pratibhaṭasya yuddha-vīrasyaiva saṃlāpādibhiḥ sātvatī-bhedaiḥ paripoṣaṇaṃ na tu dāna-vīra-dayā-vīrayor iti jñāpanārtham | tasmān na niyama-virodhaḥ | bhāratyāś ca karuṇādbhuta-viṣayatva-kathanaṃ tayoḥ prāyeṇa vāg-ārambha-mukhena paripoṣa iti jñāpanārtham | tena bhāratyāḥ sarva-rasa-sādhāraṇayam upapannam eva |

Here, the statement that the Sāttvatī enters the furious is to indicate that the nourishing of the battlefield-hero—the direct opponent of the furious—occurs through the divisions of the Sāttvatī such as converse, and not for the hero of generosity or the hero of compassion. Therefore, there is no conflict with the rule. And the statement that the Bhāratī has the pathetic and the marvellous as its scope is to indicate that those two are nourished mainly by means of verbal initiatives. Hence the commonality of the Bhāratī to all aesthetic sentiments is entirely established.
