Sthāyī Bhābābiṣṭa Citta Pāiyā Bibhāba Bitta

When sthāyi-bhāva enters, the heart attains a great treasure of vibhāva. This extraordinary bhāva affects the life- air, which then manifests ecstatic symptoms on the body.

The eight ecstatic symptoms of sthāyi-bhāva are: becoming stunned, perspiring, standing of the hairs on the body, faltering of the voice, trembling of the body, changing of bodily colors,
shedding of tears, and devastation.* The ecstatic symptoms of sañcāri-bhāva include happiness, doubt, apprehension, and lamentation.

According to the activities, rasa, and time of pastimes, these ecstatic symptoms may be manifest, moment afetr moment, in four conditions: dhūmāyita (smokey), ujjvalita (blazing),
dīpta (shining), and sūddīpta (very brilliantly shining).

A person who is qualified will manifest these sāttvika- bhāva ecstasies. The sūddīpta (very brilliantly shining) ecstatic symptoms are easily seen only when the state of mahā- bhāva is manifested.
