A set of feelings, coming in contact with Prāṇa with the element of Pṛthvi in it, is called Stambha. Another, coming in contact with Praṇa of the Jala kind assumes the form of Baṣpa. A third, coming in contact with Pranṇa of the Tejas type, gives rise to Sveda and Vaivarṇya. A fourth set of feelings, allied with Praṇa of the Akāśa type, gives birth to Pralaya and, finally, the fifth set of feelings, connected with Praṇa of the Vayu type, gives rise to three Sattvika-bhāvas, viz., Romāñca, Vepathu and Svarabhanga, differing in degrees from one another.
Thus there are these eight Sattvika-bhāvas. They are internal feelings. Outward Paralysis (Stambha) is a quality of the body, and thus differs from the internal Stambha a Sattvika-bhāva. Thus we have nine Sthayibhavas or dominant emotions, thirty three Vyabhicaribhavas and eight Sattvika-bhāvas making a total number of fifty Bhāvas.
In the Viveka commentary (pp. 144-145), Hemachandra elaborates on the concepts of Praṇabhūmi, 1 101 Stambha, Pralaya, Romance, Vepathu, Svarabheda, etc., and notes that these Sättvika-bhāvas are associated with each Rasa and never appear independently, like the Vyabhicāribhāvas which can come independently, on the analogy of the King attending the marriage ceremony at the house of an attendant. All these Sattvikas are not illustrated in the gloss because their examples are easy to find.
As for Prāṇabhūmi, Hemachandra explains that, in short, the Sthayins like Rati, etc., become Sattvika-bhāvas in contact with Prāṇa and are called Sattvika-bhāvas. He quotes a line from the Harṣacarita of Bana to the effect that first penance melts and then it becomes perspiration. And a Bhāva brought to this state by the Vyabhicarins, Avahittha etc., but not exhibited, is to be seen in the world too. He quotes the verse (Viveka, V. 170) which applies to Sagara also. The verse means that the heart of the beloved, the ocean of love, agitated by the sight of the moon in the shape of the lover's face, is not able to remain stable, though it spreads by means of perspiration
