Despair (visāda) is caused by Determinants such a non-fulfilment of the work undertaken, natural calamity and the like. It is to be represented on the part of persons of the superior and the middling types by Consequents such as looking for allies, thinking about means, loss of energy, absentmindedness, deep breathing the like. And on the part of persons of the inferior type it is to be represented by running about aimlessly looking down, drying up of the mouth licking the corner of the mouth, sleep, deep breathing, meditation and the like. There are two Āryās on this point: 68. Despair arises from nonfulfilment of the work begun, being taken at the time of committing theft, and giving offence to the king and like.
