[The nature of most of these Flavours is explained by their names. As explained above, the Erotic Flavour is of two kinds, Love in Separation (viraha or vipralambha), and Love in Union (sambhoga or samyoga). For further sub-divisions, see ncte to vv. 33 and ff. With regard to the Heroic Style, it may be noted that there are four kinds of Heroes: (1) dâna-vira, the hero of liberality, (2) dharma-vira, the hero of duty, (3) daya-vira, the hero of benevolence, and (4) yuddha-vira, the hero of war. Examples of these four are (1) Paraśu-râma, who gave away the whole world without affectation, (2) Yudhishthira, (3) Jimûtavâhana, and (4) Ramachandra. Quietism is the knowledge of the vanity of all things, by reason of their being but temporary manifestations of the Supreme Spirit.]
