It is already stated that the Erotic. Sentiment is twofold, but Hemachandra comments on this Statement by saying that, strictly speaking, this is not true. He argues that as both the types of śộngāra belong to Rati (a Sthāyin) which is of the nature of a tie of affection; so, Sambhoga and Árngara - these two concepts overlap, for, even in separation, the craving for union is very much there, and, again, in Sambhogaśngāra sometimes when there is a sense of security, owing to the course of unimpeded love, there is a sort of mental separation as Bharata has appropriately stated :

It also consists of Anubhāvas such as horripolation, perspiration, trempling, tears, slipping off of the
