Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharma

վ屹 (विभा�) refers to one of the four ingredients of rasa.—վ屹� is the cause of tasting rati, and it has two divisions: Բ (the support) and ܻī貹Բ (the awakening stimulus). Ālambana also has two divisions, namely, the object (ṣaⲹ) and the abode (śⲹ). The śⲹ of rati is the person in whom rati exists, while the ṣaⲹ of rati is the person towards whom rati is directed. Kṛṣṇa’s bhaktas are the śⲹ of rati because they have rati in their hearts, whereas Kṛṣṇa is the ṣaⲹ of rati, because rati is directed towards Him.

The Գܲ屹s that arouse and nourish the 屹s then spread throughout the body in the form of ܻ. As soon as the ٳī屹 in the heart is stimulated by the , Գܲ屹 begins its function as another action of the heart. Thus Գܲ屹 is a separate individual ingredient.
