Verse 2.4.2
Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation:
वाग्-अङ्ग-सत्त्व-सूच्या ज्ञेयास् ते व्यभिचारिणः ।
सञ्चारयन्ति भावस्य गतिं सञ्चारिणो’पि ॥२.४.२॥vāg-aṅga-sattva-sūcyā jñeyās te vyabhicāriṇaḥ |
sañcārayanti bhāvasya gatiṃ sañcāriṇo’pi ||2.4.2||
English translation
“The vyabhicārī-bhāvas reveal themselves by words, by eyebrows and other bodily parts, and by external actions (anubhāvas) that arise from overwhelming emotions (sattva). Since they set in motion (sañcārayanti) the course of the sthāyi-bhāva, they are called sañcārī-bhāvas.”
