“It [i.e., ujjvala-rasa], furthermore, has two varieties: (1) vipralambha [‘separation’] and (2) sambhoga [‘union’]. Therein, vipralambha is [known as] that the attainment (lambha) of which occurs because of distance (vipra) [between the couple, lit., the ‘drawing apart’ of the couple], as is described [in Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi 15.2], ‘That bhāva of a couple, [be they] non-united or united together [at a given time], which is distinctly brought forth when their mutually desired embraces and so forth are not attained, and which is a cause of the elevation of [their] sambhoga, is to be known as vipralambha. … This vipralambha has four varieties: (1) pūrva-rāga [lit., ‘prior attachment,’ that is, the vipralmabha felt by couple after they have developed attachment (rāga) to one another but prior to their ever meeting one another], (2) māna [jealous anger], (3) prema-vaicittya [lit., ‘bewilderment because of prema’], and (4) pravāsa [dwelling abroad]. Then, that bhāva in which a couple’s enjoyment (bhoga) occurs on account of being connected in union is called sambhoga [lit., “enjoyment together,” or, “complete enjoyment”], as is described [in Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi 15.188], ‘That bhāva that elevates a couple’s elation by means of acts of service [for one another], such as looking [at one another] and embracing, out of favorability (anukūlya) [towards one another] is called sambhoga.’”
