Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation:
अविरुद्धैर् अपि स्पृष्टा भावैः सञ्चारिणो’खिलाः ।
निर्वेदाद्या विलीयन्ते नार्हन्ति स्थायितां ततः ॥२.५.४८॥aviruddhair api spṛṣṭā bhāvaiḥ sañcāriṇo’khilāḥ |
nirvedādyā vilīyante nārhanti sthāyitāṃ tataḥ ||2.5.48||
English translation
“Because all the thirty-three vyabhicārī-bhāvas starting with nirveda, though not connected with hostile emotions, disappear on their own after some time in the devotees, they are not classed as sthāyī-bhāvas.”
