यथाऽवसरमेते हि स्थायिसञ्चारिसत्त्वजाः ।
उद्दीपयन्ति शृङ्गारं रसमासाद्य संज्ञितम् yathā'vasaramete hi sthāyisañcārisattvajāḥ |
uddīpayanti śṛṅgāraṃ rasamāsādya saṃjñitam
The line
These, the stable, the passing, and those born of sattva (सत्त्व), as the occasion comes, having reached the rasa (रस) called the erotic, kindle it.
