Ādi-līlā, Chapter 3
171
and then Lord Caitanya appears in the Kali-yuga of the same  divya-yuga . Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya appear once in each day of Brahmā, or once in fourteen  manvantaras , each of seventy-one  divya-yugas  in duration.
From the beginning of Brahmā's day of 4,320,000,000 years, six Manus appear and disappear before Lord Kṛṣṇa appears. Thus 1,975,320,000 years of the day of Brahmā elapse before the appearance of Lord Kṛṣṇa. This is an astronomical calculation according to solar years.

TRANSLATION
Servitude [dāsya], friendship [sakhya], parental affection [vātsalya] and conjugal love [śṛṅgāra] are the four transcendental mellows [rasas]. By the devotees who cherish these four mellows, Lord Kṛṣṇa is subdued.
PURPORT
Dāsya, sakhya, vātsalya  and  śṛṅgāra  are the transcendental modes of loving service to the Lord.  Śānta-rasa , or the neutral stage, is not mentioned in this verse because although in  śānta-rasa  one considers the Absolute Truth the sublime great, one does not go beyond that conception.  Śānta-rasa  is a very grand idea for materialistic philosophers, but such idealistic appreciation is only the beginning; it is the lowest among the relationships in the spiritual world.  Śānta-rasa  is not given much importance because as soon as there is a slight understanding between the knower and the known, active loving transcendental reciprocations and exchanges begin.  Dāsya-rasa  is the basic relationship between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees; therefore this verse considers  dāsya  the first stage of transcendental devotional service.
