Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation:
इतरेषां मदादीनां नातिपोषकता भवेत् ।
योगे त्रयः स्युर् धृत्यस् ता अयोगे तु क्लमादयः ।
उभयत्र परे शेषा निर्वेदाद्याः सतां मताः ॥३.२.७१॥itareṣāṃ madādīnāṃ nātipoṣakatā bhavet |
yoge trayaḥ syur dhṛtyas tā ayoge tu klamādayaḥ |
ubhayatra pare śeṣā nirvedādyāḥ satāṃ matāḥ ||3.2.71||
English translation
“The other nine—mada, śrama, trāsa, apasmāra, ālasya, ugrata, krodha, asūyā and nidrā—do not nourish prīti-rasa. In meeting the Lord, harṣa, garva and dhṛti manifest, and in separation from the Lord, klama (glāni), vyādhi and mṛti manifest. According to the devotees, the remaining eighteen vyabhicārī-bhāvas manifest both in union with and separation from the Lord.”
