The twenty different moods headed by kila-kificita are described as follows.
First, in connection with the body, there are bhava (ecstasy), hava (gestures) and
hela (negligence); in relation to the self there are sobha (beauty), kanti (luster),
dipti (brilliance), madhurya (sweetness), pragalbhatd (impudence), audarya (mag-
nanimity) and dhairya (patience); and in relation to nature, there are ila
(pastimes), vilésa (enjoyment), vicchitti (breaking off) and vibhrama (puzzlement).
There are no English equivalents for the words kila-kificita, mottayita and kut-
tamita.

A flower garland constitutes the qualities of Srimati Radharani and is divided
into mental, verbal and bodily parts. Her attitude of forgiveness and mercy is all
mental. Her talks, which are very pleasing to the ear, are verbal. The physical
qualities—age, beauty, luster and grace—are bodily qualities.
