The line

The worldly mode and the theatrical mode: the mode is remembered as twofold. The verbal, the grand, the graceful, and the violent.

Where it sits

Lokadharmī (लोकधर्मी) is the way of the world. Nāṭyadharmī (नाट्यधर्मी) is the way of the theatre. The four vṛtti (वृत्ति) styles are bhāratī (भारती), sāttvatī (सात्त्वती), kaiśikī (कैशिकी), and ārabhaṭī (आरभटी). 6.25 says the drama stands in them.
