The line
Those which proceed kindling the stable rasa (रस) are to be known as passing. They have come to stability.
नेपालीमा
स्थायी रसलाई सल्काउँदै अघि बढ्नेलाई व्यभिचारी जान्नुपर्छ। तिनीहरू स्थिरतामा आएका हुन्।
Where it sits
The passing states serve the stable one. The verse also says they themselves arrive at stability, meaning they take their stand by serving it.
