Love for Krsna, KeSava, as previously described, reaches the supreme state of
being composed of mellows when its ingredients are fulfilled. By means of
vibhava, anubhava, sattvika and vyabhicdri, hearing and chanting are activated,
and the devotee is able to taste love for Krsna. Then attachment for Krsna, or per-
manent ecstasy (sthayi-bhava), becomes the mellow of devotional service (bhak-
ti-rasa).
