The classification of these Accessory feelings is peculiar. They are said to be (i) independent (svatantra) where they are developed independently of the dominant feeling (Sthāyi-bhāva), or (ii) dependent on the dominant feeling (paratantra). The dependent may be directly (sākṣāt) or indirectly (vyavahita) connected, or may be subordinated to two different Rasas (avara). The independent may be either rati-śūnya (devoid of any touch of the Sthāyin), or rati-gandhin (giving a hint of the Sthāyin and incidentally touching it).
