(ii) Māna¹, Resentment as a bar to the realisation of love. It may be (a) Sa-hetu (having a cause), the cause or ground of resentment being something seen (drṣṭa), heard (śruta) or inferred (anumita), or (b) Nirhetu (without a cause) or Kāraṇābhāsa-sahita (with the semblance of a cause). The causeless resentment is easily allayed, but the caused resentment may be allayed by sweet words (Sāma), offering of presents (Dāna), glorification of oneself (Bheda) and neglect (Upekṣā), or by the sudden accession of other feelings (e. g. sudden fear).
