English translation
An example of secondary snigdha-sāttvika-bhāva:
“When Kṛṣṇa the raincloud for the cātaka bird of her eyes, was brought to Mathurā, Yaśodā, turning red-faced in anger, began to scold Nanda Mahārāja in a choked voice.”
In this example, the change of color and choked voice of Yaśodā have been caused by the secondary rati of anger (krodha-rati).
