Verse 2.3.6
Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation:
मुख्यः स्तम्भो’यम् इत्थं ते ज्ञेयाः स्वेदादयो’पि च ॥२.३.६॥
mukhyaḥ stambho’yam itthaṃ te jñeyāḥ svedādayo’pi ca ||2.3.6||

In this example, being stunned is the principal snigdha-sāttvika-bhāva, because it arises from a principal rati, madhura-rati. The appearance of other sāttvika-bhāvas should be understood similarly.
