Nirbeda Bisada Mada

Rupanuga Bhajana Darpana Song 23

1

nirbeda biṣāda mada dainya glāni
śramonmāda garba trāsa śaṅkā apasmṛti
ābega ālasya byādhi moha mṛtyu
jaḍatādi brīḍā abahitthā āra smṛti

bitarka cāpalya mati cintautsukya
harṣa dhṛti ugrālasya nidrāmarṣa supti
bodha hoya ei bhāba-coya trayas-triṁśat
sabe hoya byabhicārī nāme labhe jñapti

The following 33 emotions are known as vyabhicari bhavas: indifference, melancholy, madness, humility, fatigue, vanity, pride, apprehension, fear, forgetfulness, anxiety, laziness, malady, fascination, death, stupor, shyness, concealment, memory, debate, fickleness, temperament, thoughtfulness, curiosity, delight, patience, envy, violence, sleep, deep sleep, sadness and alertness.

atulya madhura rase ugrālasya nā
paraśe āra saba bhābajathājatha udi
' bhābābeśa sukhe sthāyī-bhābera
abhimukhe biśeṣa āgrahe hoya rata

The vyabhicari bhava called violence, however, can not touch the incomparably sweet madhura rasa. All of the other vyabhicari successively arise and flow towards the sthayi bhava, circulating themselves around it happily in their own respective ways.

4

rāgāṅga sattwa āśroye rasa-joga
sañcaroye jena sthāyi sāgarera ḍheu
nija kārja sādhi ' tūrṇa sāgara
koriyā pūrṇa nibe āra nāhi dekhe keu

Under the shelter of the pure goodness produced by spontaneous devotional attachment, these vyabhicari emotions circulate about in conjunction with the particular rasa in play. They are all just like waves on the sthayi bhava ocean. They arise, do their emotional work, and then quickly slip back again into the ocean, not to be seen by anyone anymore.
