51 / Perverted Expression of Mellows
Rasābhāsa , or incompatible mixtures of mellows, can be classified as  uparasa  (false expression)  anurasa  (imitation) and  aparasa  (perverted or misrepresented mellows).
There is the following statement by an impersonalist who had just seen Kṛṣṇa: “When a person has passed completely from all contamination of material existence, he relishes a transcendental bliss of being established in trance. But as soon as I saw You, the original Personality of Godhead, I experienced the same bliss.” This perverted reflection of mellows is called  śānta-uparasa , or a perverted reflection of mixed impersonalism and personalism.
There is another statement as follows: “Wherever I am glancing I simply see Your personality. Therefore I know You are the uncontaminated  Brahman  effulgence, the supreme cause of all causes. I think there is nothing but You in this cosmic manifestation.” This is another example of  uparasa , or a perverted reflection of impersonalism and personalism.
When Madhumañgala, an intimate friend of Krṣṇa, was dancing before Krṣṇa in a joking manner, no one was paying attention to him, and he jokingly said, “My dear Lord, please be merciful upon me. I am praying for Your mercy.” This is an example of  uparasa  in fraternal affection and neutrality.
Kamsa once addressed his sister Devakī as follows: “My dear sister, having seen your dear son Kṛṣṇa, I think that He is so strong that He can kill even wrestlers strong as the mountains. So I will have no more anxieties about Him, even if He is engaged in a terrible fight.” This is an instance of  uparasa  in a perverted reflection of parental love.
