The section on the Vyabhicāri-bhāvas or accessory feelings is a fairly long one, but the conventional thirty-three of these are accepted and illustrated, with the exception of Ugratā (sternness) and Ālasya (indolence), which, in the opinion of our author, are inapplicable to Śṛngāra. As in the case of the Sāttvikas, each of these is described as caused by different feelings, e.g. fear, wonder, anger, shame, contempt, sorrow, etc.² After this, a brief reference is made to the Commencement (Utpatti), Commixture (Samdhi), Conjunction (Śabalatā) and Allaying (Śānti) of different Bhāvas.
