supra. Bhoja and Narendraprabha cite this gātha as an example of cintă (worry), one of the 33 vyabhicări-bhāvas (transitory states). Bhoja thus comments : 37 सखीरोदनेन शून्यकलह:, शून्यकलहेन साक्षात्कारः, साक्षात्कारेण चिन्ता, चिन्तया तु मूलभूता रतिः प्रकृष्यते ।

supra. Bhoja and Narendraprabha cite this gāthā as an example of suptam (sound sleep), one of the 33 vyabhicari-bhāvas (transitory states). Bhoja introduces this gātha with the remark : 'तद्रूपेण रसप्रकर्षो यथा -'. He, after citing it, thus comments upon it : अत्र निर्भर-पदेनैव प्रकर्षः प्रतिपद्यते । -सरस्वती० पृ. ५९४. .

supra. Bhoja and Narendraprabha both cite this stanza as an example of rasābhāsa (lit. the semblance of sentiment, 'ungenuine sentiment'). Bhoja (SK p. 576) introduces this stanza with the remark (रतिरूपेण) नायकप्रतियोगिषु (रसाभासो) यथा-'.

Rāvana is a rival (pratiyogin) of Rāma, the hero. Hence there is impropriety (anaucitya) regarding Rāvana's abhilāşa and rati for Sītā. Hence it is a case of rasābhāsa (Srigarabhāsa).
