The line
Paralysis, sweat, horripilation, a break in the voice, trembling, change of color, tears, and fainting: these eight are held to be born of sattva (सत्त्व).
नेपालीमा
स्तम्भ, पसिना, रोमाञ्च, स्वरभङ्ग, कम्पन, वर्ण परिवर्तन, आँसु र मूर्छा यी आठ सत्त्वबाट जन्मेका मानिन्छन्।
Where it sits
The same eight as 6.22. The prose says sattva (सत्त्व) is born of the mind, and is so called when the mind is collected. These signs appear when that state is present. They are not chosen gestures.
