English translation
“In raudra-bhakti-rasa, krodha-rati is the sthāyī-bhāva. It has three types: kopa, manyu and roṣa. Kopa is anger directed toward enemies. Manyu is anger directed toward one’s friends. Friends are of three types: superior, equal and inferior. Roṣa is a woman’s anger directed toward Kṛṣṇa. This actually becomes a vyabhicārī-bhāva in madhura-rasa.”
