Having thus given a preliminary analysis and exposition of the different types of Bhakti, the rest of the work proceeds to consider and analyse Bhakti as a Rasa. The Dakṣiṇa Vibhāga deals with its Sthāyi-bhāva and describes its development by means of its appropriate Vibhāvas, Anubhāvas, Sāttvikas and Vyabhicārins, which are described in some detail: the Paścima treats of what are called the five Mukhya or Primary Bhakti Rasas; and the last or Uttara Vibhāga is devoted to the study of the seven Gauṇa or Secondary Bhakti Rasas, of the Opposition of the Rasas, and of Apparent Rasas or Rasābhāsas.
