tion, as well as jealousy and lamentation due to not discharging one’s duties.
The despondency that results is called nirveda. When one is captured by this
despondency, thoughts, tears, loss of bodily luster, humility and heavy
breathing result!’ Visdda is also explained in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu: “When
one fails to achieve the desired goal of life and repents for all his offenses,
there is a state of regret called visdda'’ The symptoms of visdda are also ex-
plained. “One hankers to revive his original condition and inquires how to do
so. There are also deep thought, heavy breathing, crying and lamentation as
well as a changing of the bodily color and drying up of the tongue.”

In Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu thirty-three such destructive symptoms are men-
tioned. They are expressed in words, in the eyebrows and in the eyes. These
symptoms are called vyabhicari bhava, destructive ecstasy. If they continue,
they are sometimes called saricari, or continued ecstasy.
