English translation

“However, the combination of two unfriendly rasas will not produce distaste under the following conditions:

• where one of the conflicting rasas is negated by a statement
• where two conflicting rasas are present through remembrance
• where two rasas are compared
• where a friendly or neutral rasa intervenes between the two conflicting rasas
• where the viṣayas and āśrayas of two conflicting rasas (one of which is a secondary rasa) are different.”
