vice, it is called vibhava, anubhava, sattvika and vyabhicdari. The devotee thus en-
joys a variety of transcendental bliss. In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhakti-
vinoda Thakura states that anubhdva can be divided into thirteen categories: (1)
dancing, (2) rolling on the ground, (3) singing, (4) yelling, (5) jumping, (6) making
loud noises, (7) yawning, (8) heavy breathing, (9) not caring for public opinion,
(10) discharging saliva, (11) roaring laughter, (12) unsteadiness and (13) hiccup-
ping. These are the symptoms of anubhava. Thus the transcendental mellows are
experienced in different stages. Similarly, there are many other forms of expres-
sion that have been analytically studied by the Gosvamis. In Bhakti-rasamrta-
sindhu, Rapa Gosvami gives each and every symptom a particular name.
